The proposed bill, known as the My Child-My Chart Act, seeks to establish new regulations regarding the access and management of medical records for minors. It mandates that healthcare providers utilizing electronic health records systems must ensure that a minor's parent or guardian has access to the minor's health records, in compliance with HIPAA privacy rules and Ohio law. The bill specifies that providers must maintain records in a way that distinguishes between care received with and without parental consent, and they cannot require the minor's authorization for parents or guardians to access records related to care that was consented to by them.

Additionally, the bill requires healthcare providers to inform parents or guardians annually about the circumstances under which minors can receive healthcare without their consent and the implications for medical record disclosure. It also stipulates that during each minor's annual well visit, they should be given the opportunity to provide ongoing written consent for their parents or guardians to access their medical records concerning care they may consent to independently. This legislation aims to balance the privacy rights of minors with the need for parental involvement in their healthcare.
