Parental access to a minor child's medical records would be established as a legal right under this bill, requiring health care facilities to give parents access to their child's electronic medical records unless the parent's rights have been terminated, the child is emancipated or married, a court orders otherwise, or the records involve sexual assault counseling. Facilities unable to provide electronic access would have to notify parents and supply the records within five business days at no charge, and both facilities and the software vendors that power their records systems would face $1,000-per-day fines for noncompliance after December 31, 2027, with enforcement carried out by the attorney general's office through civil actions, subpoena power, and mandatory attorney fee awards when successful. Fines collected would be deposited into a state disability services account, and the Utah State Hospital would be exempt from these access and enforcement requirements.
