Bill Summary
Under current law, 9-1-1 audio recordings and transcripts are generally considered government records which are available for inspection, copying, and examination by the public. This bill would make confidential any part of a 9-1-1 audio recording or transcript that disclosed a person's health status, medical conditions, health care services or treatments, medical history, genetic information, or current health insurance plan information by excluding it from the definition of a government record.
AI Summary
This bill exempts certain health information contained in 9-1-1 calls from the definition of a government record, making that information confidential and not subject to public inspection or disclosure. Specifically, the bill excludes from the definition of a government record any part of a 9-1-1 audio recording or transcript that discloses a person's health status, medical conditions, health care services or treatments, medical history, genetic information, or current health insurance information. This change would prevent this sensitive health information from being publicly accessible, even if it is part of a 9-1-1 call recording or transcript.
