NH HB1378

Parents and legal guardians would be entitled to full access to their minor child's medical records, including both physical records and electronic records available through online patient portals

Access would be denied when the minor received treatment they can legally consent to without parental permission under state or federal law

Access would be restricted when a parent or guardian is subject to a protective order involving the child or a sibling, or when a court determines release is not in the child's best interest

Healthcare providers may deny access if they determine, based on documented articulable facts, that disclosure would likely result in abuse or neglect of the child

The bill would take effect 60 days after passage
