Bill > HB2805

This bill modifies provisions related to offenders in the custody of the department of corrections by establishing new rules for accessing offender medical records and creating a hospice care training program within the prison system. Specifically, it mandates that the department provide offenders or their designated personal representatives with electronic copies of all their medical records within thirty days of a request, at no cost. It also allows offenders to designate a personal representative who can receive information on their behalf, with the department developing a form for this purpose. Furthermore, the bill authorizes the department of corrections, in collaboration with other state agencies, to develop and implement a hospice care training program for inmates, potentially leading to licensure or certification, and outlines the process for curriculum approval and certificate issuance.
