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 (through videotaping, audiotaping, photography, or other means) of a patient receiving medical treatment without the patient's consent, or the consent of the patient's authorized representative (such as a healthcare proxy or court-appointed guardian) if the patient is incapacitated or a minor. The bill also requires that the patient's next of kin be notified and consent before publicly exposing any recording of a patient who died while receiving treatment. The bill defines key terms such as "incapacitated person" and "recording" to provide clarity and context.
