Bill Summary
Relative to recording persons receiving medical attention. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to prohibit the recording (including videotaping, audiotaping, or photographing) of patients receiving medical treatment unless the patient, an authorized representative of an incapacitated patient, or a parent/guardian of a minor patient, consents to the recording. Additionally, it requires the consent of the patient's next of kin before exposing a recording of a deceased patient to the public. The bill defines key terms such as "authorized representative," "incapacitated person," and "recording" to provide clarity on the scope and application of these new requirements.
