HOUSE BILL 26
Children’s mental health services
HEALTH – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the circumstances under which confidential statements by an adolescent in mental health treatment may be disclosed.
RS30005 / H0026
This legislation amends Section 16-2428, Idaho Code, regarding confidentiality and disclosure of information records. It seeks to clarify Idaho Code to include situations when a parent or guardian seeks Medicaid coverage information. It adds that accessing services and supports for the child is a necessary reason to obtain medical records as well.
There is no fiscal impact on the general fund because all record releases will be done by the agency holding the records.
