HB796

Providing for department of labor and industry and licensing boards to request health care information by administrative process

Complete·5/8/25

Montana HB796 allows licensing boards to request health care information through administrative subpoenas for investigations.

Montana HB796 revises laws to clarify that professional or occupational licensing boards can request health care information via administrative subpoenas for investigative and disciplinary purposes. This bill amends sections 50-16-535 and 50-16-811 of the Montana Code Annotated to specify conditions under which health care information can be disclosed. The changes ensure that health care information is not disclosed unless certain conditions are met, such as the patient's authorization or when the information is relevant to a proceeding.
