Texas HB1699 regulates the electronic disclosure of medical information, requiring a three-day delay for sensitive test results.

HB1699 amends the Texas Occupations Code to mandate that physicians provide requested medical information within 15 business days via a secure online portal or health software application. It defines "sensitive test results" as pathology or radiology reports likely indicating malignancy or genetic markers. The bill prohibits disclosing these sensitive results electronically before the third day after they are finalized. Those managing a patient's electronic health record must enforce this delay. The Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
