New Jersey A863 requires health care professionals and facilities to provide parents and guardians access to minor patients' medical records.

New Jersey A863 mandates that health care professionals and facilities grant parents and guardians access to the medical records of minor patients under 18 years old, without requiring the patient's authorization. This access is subject to exceptions where the minor has the legal right to consent to treatment, such as for sexually transmitted infections, substance use disorders, or when they believe they may have a sexually transmitted infection.
