New Jersey A895 mandates that health care facilities and professionals provide parents and guardians access to the medical records of minors under 18 years old, without the need for the minor's authorization. This access is granted except in cases where the minor appears to have been sexually assaulted and the healthcare professional believes it is in the best interest of the patient not to notify the parent or guardian. The bill also provides immunity to health care facilities and professionals that provide access to records, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
