This bill establishes a new section in South Dakota law that prohibits health care providers from restricting or denying access to a minor's medical records and health information to parents or guardians who have the authority to make health care decisions for that minor. Specifically, it ensures that these parents or guardians can access the minor's electronic health information, medical records, and patient portal. Any agreements that contradict this provision will be considered void and unenforceable.

However, the bill includes an exception for minors who have legally obtained health care services without the consent or notification of a parent or guardian, in accordance with federal regulations. This aims to balance the rights of minors to seek certain health care services independently while ensuring that parents or guardians retain access to important health information when appropriate.
