This bill mandates that certain health care providers, including licensed physicians, advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, certified midwives, certified professional midwives, and certified nurse 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, particularly concerning any alleged perpetrators. If a perpetrator was previously authorized to access the patient's medical records, the patient can be advised on how to revoke that authorization. The Department of Children and Families and the Department of Health are tasked with maintaining and updating a list of resources for IPV victims, ensuring that providers have access to current information.
