The proposed bill amends Title 42 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes by adding a new section, 6152.2, which focuses on the protection of reproductive health services records. Under this new provision, covered entities are prohibited from disclosing any communications or information related to reproductive health care services without explicit written consent from the patient or their authorized representative. The bill outlines specific duties for covered entities, including informing patients of their rights regarding consent, and it establishes exceptions where disclosure may occur without consent, such as in legal proceedings or investigations involving child abuse.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that it does not impede lawful sharing of medical records as permitted by existing federal or state laws, nor does it replace current regulations governing the confidentiality of communications in various contexts, including those involving mental health professionals and domestic violence counselors. The definitions section of the bill provides clarity on terms such as "covered entity" and "reproductive health care services." The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
