Prohibit a health care provider from restricting or denying a parent or guardian's access to certain medical records and other health information of a minor.

This bill requires health care providers to give parents and guardians full access to their minor child's medical records, electronic health information, and patient portals—unless the minor obtained care legally without parental consent or knowledge. Any agreement between a provider and parent that tries to block this access is now void and unenforceable. The law essentially prevents doctors' offices from keeping medical information hidden from parents.
