Digest
SB 1161 ensures that parents, guardians, or managing conservators are notified if their access to their child’s electronic health records is restricted by a healthcare provider. The bill requires providers to send email notifications every six months with instructions on how to request access. However, providers are not responsible for ensuring that the parent or guardian actually receives the notification. The bill aims to increase parental awareness of healthcare access policies​.
