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 cannot require the minor's authorization for parents or guardians to access records related to care that the minor received with their consent. Additionally, it requires that records be maintained in a way that separates those pertaining to care received without parental consent.

Furthermore, the bill outlines obligations for healthcare providers to inform parents or guardians annually about the circumstances under which minors can receive healthcare without their consent, as well as the limitations on disclosing medical records related to such care. It also requires that during each minor's annual well visit, healthcare providers offer the minor the opportunity to give ongoing written consent for parental access to their medical records concerning care that the minor may consent to independently. This provision is designed to empower minors while ensuring that parents remain informed about their children's healthcare.
