Patient Access to Records House Bill 1035
FAILED AARP Supported Sponsored by Representative Rommel
Health Care Practitioners House Bill 821 and Companion Senate Bill 972 The legislation would have authorized certain categories of advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) and Physicians’ Assistants (PA) to engage in autonomous practice without a supervisory protocol or supervision by a physician. Note that the Governor indicated his probable lack of support for this bill. The legislation would have allowed patients, nursing home residents and legal representatives to control how they received requested records. It would have standardized patient costs for reproducing treatment records from all health care providers, facilities and nursing homes to the following: $1 per page for the first 25 pages and 25 cents for every page thereafter for paper copies; $2 for electronic records and an additional $1 or each record year requested; and, actual costs incurred for producing X-Rays or similar records.
