Requires intimate partner violence screenings and prevents perpetrators from accessing victims' medical records.

Requires certain health care providers to conduct intimate partner violence screenings for patients. If a provider identifies a potential victim, they must provide the patient with resources and referrals. All health care professionals must ensure that perpetrators of intimate partner violence are removed from the list of those authorized to receive copies of the victim's medical records. The Department of Children and Families, in consultation with a domestic violence support organization, must maintain and update a list of resources available to victims.
