HB4189, known as the Health Care Sanctity and Privacy Law, requires hospitals to create policies for interactions with law enforcement. These policies must include designating a contact person to handle law enforcement presence and requests, verifying the identity and authority of agents, and ensuring the release of patient information complies with federal and state laws. The policies must also include procedures for patients to request amendments to their medical records and for notifying patients of their immigration rights.
