SB 980: Access to medical records.

This bill aims to expand the existing law regarding patients' access to their medical records. It prohibits healthcare providers from charging patients for completing health-related forms required by educational institutions or childcare providers. This includes forms necessary for participation in school, childcare, or school-sponsored activities. The bill also prohibits healthcare providers from charging a fee to patients for filling out forms or providing information related to a claim or appeal for a public benefit program. Additionally, the bill would make a willful violation of these provisions an infraction.
