Bill Summary
Relative to videotaping, audiotaping and photographing persons receiving medical treatment. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to prohibit the recording (videotaping, audiotaping, photographing, etc.) of patients receiving medical treatment without their consent or the consent of their authorized representative (such as a health care proxy or legal guardian). It also requires the consent of the patient's next of kin before exposing any recording of a deceased patient to the public. The bill defines key terms such as "authorized representative," "incapacitated person," and "recording" to provide clarity and ensure proper application of these new requirements.
