This bill mandates that certain health care providers, including licensed physicians, advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, and certified midwives, conduct periodic screenings for intimate partner violence (IPV) among their patients. The screenings must adhere to nationally recognized evidence-based guidelines and be documented in the patient's medical record. If a provider identifies a patient as a potential victim of IPV, they are required to provide the patient with a list of available resources and services for assistance, as well as referrals to other health care providers if necessary. The screenings can be conducted in private settings, including through telemedicine or self-administration by the patient.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any health care professional who documents findings of IPV must inform the patient about their rights regarding the disclosure of their medical records, specifically allowing them to revoke authorization for the alleged perpetrator to access their records. The Department of Children and Families and the Department of Health are tasked with creating and regularly updating a list of resources available to assist IPV victims. The bill aims to enhance the support and protection for victims of intimate partner violence within the healthcare system.
