The Personal Medical Record Fee Exemption Amendment Act of 2025 amends the District of Columbia Health Occupations Revision Act of 1985 to prohibit health care entities from charging fees for personal medical records when requested by individuals for specific purposes. Specifically, the bill states that health care entities cannot charge fees for copies of personal medical records requested by the patient, their personal representative, or legal representatives, if the records are intended to support a claim or appeal under the Social Security Act or for any other federal or District needs-based benefit or program.

The bill introduces a new subsection (c-1) to clarify these exemptions, while also amending existing language in subsection (b) to reflect this change. The act will take effect following the Mayor's approval, a 30-day congressional review period, and publication in the District of Columbia Register.
