The 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. It establishes that, in civil actions or proceedings, a covered entity cannot disclose communications or information related to reproductive health care services without explicit written consent from the patient or their authorized representative. The bill outlines the duties of covered entities to inform patients of their rights regarding consent and specifies exceptions where consent is not required, such as disclosures authorized by court rules or related to investigations of abuse.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that it does not impede lawful sharing of medical records as permitted by federal or state law, nor does it replace existing laws governing the confidentiality of communications in various contexts, including those involving physicians, mental health professionals, and domestic violence counselors. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
