↑Expands rights of the paying or noncustodial parentmodel confidence 80%
Gives parents, managing conservators, or guardians access to a child's medical, dental, psychological, or surgical treatment records regardless of consent to treatment (unless limited by court order), increasing their information rights in disputes with the other parent or third parties.
Unless limited by court order, a child's parent or, if applicable, the child's managing conservator or guardian, is entitled to access to the child's medical, dental, psychological, or surgical treatment records, regardless of whether the parent, managing conservator, or guardian: (1) was required to consent to the treatment; or (2) consented to the treatment.
Gives parents, managing conservators, or guardians access to a child's medical, dental, psychological, or surgical treatment records regardless of consent to treatment (unless limited by court order), increasing their ability to monitor or object to gender-related care.
Unless limited by court order, a child's parent or, if applicable, the child's managing conservator or guardian, is entitled to access to the child's medical, dental, psychological, or surgical treatment records, regardless of whether the parent, managing conservator, or guardian: (1) was required to consent to the treatment; or (2) consented to the treatment.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a right for parents/managing conservators/guardians to access a child's full treatment records (medical, dental, psychological, surgical) without regard to consent, which expands the less-custodial or paying parent's informational rights in custody/support disputes and restricts transgender healthcare by enabling parental oversight of gender-related treatments.
