HEALTH -- Amends and adds to existing law to provide for the protection of personal medical information.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This legislation amends Idaho code by adding a definition of personal medical information that includes details of a person's medical or dental condition, including information regarding medication and vaccinations. A new section is added that states that every person has a right to confidentiality regarding their personal medical information. Further, no private or public entity shall be entitled to condition access on the revelation of personal medical information. Health care providers who require personal medical information, such as needed to provide medical treatment, may not use that information to deny access to care.
