   47  
   48         Section 1. Subsections (3) through (12) of section
   49  394.4615, Florida Statutes, are renumbered as subsections (4)
   50  through (13), respectively, and a new subsection (3) is added to
   51  that section, to read:
   52         394.4615 Clinical records; confidentiality.—
   53         (3)Within 14 working days after receiving a request made
   54  in accordance with paragraphs (2)(a)-(c), a service provider
   55  must furnish clinical records in its possession. A service
   56  provider may furnish the requested records in paper form or,
   57  upon request, in an electronic format. A service provider who
   58  maintains an electronic health record system shall furnish the
   59  requested records in the manner chosen by the requester,
   60  including, but not limited to, an electronic format, submission
   61  through a patient’s electronic personal health record, or access
   62  through a web-based patient portal if the service provider
   63  maintains a patient portal.
   64         Section 2. Subsections (1), (2), and (3), paragraph (e) of
   65  subsection (4), paragraph (a) of subsection (7), and subsection
   66  (8) of section 395.3025, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
   67         395.3025 Patient and personnel records; copy costs copies;
   68  examination.—
   69         (1) Any licensed facility shall, upon written request, and
   70  only after discharge of the patient, furnish, in a timely
   71  manner, without delays for legal review, to any person admitted
   72  therein for care and treatment or treated thereat, or to any
   73  such person’s guardian, curator, or personal representative, or
   74  in the absence of one of those persons, to the next of kin of a
   75  decedent or the parent of a minor, or to anyone designated by
   76  such person in writing, a true and correct copy of all patient
   77  records, including X rays, and insurance information concerning
   78  such person, which records are in the possession of the licensed
   79  facility, provided the person requesting such records agrees to
   80  pay a charge. The exclusive charge for copies of patient records
   81  may include sales tax and actual postage, and, except for
   82  nonpaper records that are subject to a charge not to exceed $2,
   83  may not exceed $1 per page. A fee of up to $1 may be charged for
   84  each year of records requested. These charges shall apply to all
   85  records furnished, whether directly from the facility or from a
   86  copy service providing these services on behalf of the facility.
   87  However, a patient whose records are copied or searched for the
   88  purpose of continuing to receive medical care is not required to
   89  pay a charge for copying or for the search. The licensed
   90  facility shall further allow any such person to examine the
   91  original records in its possession, or microforms or other
   92  suitable reproductions of the records, upon such reasonable
   93  terms as shall be imposed to assure that the records will not be
   94  damaged, destroyed, or altered.
   95         (2) This section does not apply to records maintained at
   96  any licensed facility the primary function of which is to
   97  provide psychiatric care to its patients, or to records of
   98  treatment for any mental or emotional condition at any other
   99  licensed facility which are governed by the provisions of s.
  100  394.4615.
  101         (3) This section does not apply to records of substance
  102  abuse impaired persons, which are governed by s. 397.501.
  103         (2)(4) Patient records are confidential and must not be
  104  disclosed without the consent of the patient or his or her legal
  105  representative, but appropriate disclosure may be made without
  106  such consent to:
  107         (e) The Department of Health agency upon subpoena issued
  108  pursuant to s. 456.071, but the records obtained thereby must be
  109  used solely for the purpose of the department agency and the
  110  appropriate professional board in its investigation,
  111  prosecution, and appeal of disciplinary proceedings. If the
  112  department agency requests copies of the records, the facility
  113  shall charge no more than its actual copying costs, including
  114  reasonable staff time. The records must be sealed and must not
  115  be available to the public pursuant to s. 119.07(1) or any other
  116  statute providing access to records, nor may they be available
  117  to the public as part of the record of investigation for and
  118  prosecution in disciplinary proceedings made available to the
  119  public by the department agency or the appropriate regulatory
  120  board. However, the department agency must make available, upon
  121  written request by a practitioner against whom probable cause
  122  has been found, any such records that form the basis of the
  123  determination of probable cause.
  124         (5)(a)(7)(a) If the content of any record of patient
  125  treatment is provided under this section, the recipient, if
  126  other than the patient or the patient’s representative, may use
  127  such information only for the purpose provided and may not
  128  further disclose any information to any other person or entity,
  129  unless expressly permitted by the written consent of the
  130  patient. A general authorization for the release of medical
  131  information is not sufficient for this purpose. The content of
  132  such patient treatment record is confidential and exempt from
  133  the provisions of s. 119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State
  134  Constitution.
  135         (6)(8) Patient records at hospitals and ambulatory surgical
  136  centers are exempt from disclosure under s. 119.07(1), except as
  137  provided by subsections (2) and (3) (1)-(5).
  138         Section 3. Present paragraphs (a) through (j) of subsection
  139  (7) of section 397.501, Florida Statutes, are redesignated as
  140  paragraphs (c) through (l), respectively, and new paragraphs (a)
  141  and (b) are added to that subsection, to read:
  142         397.501 Rights of individuals.—Individuals receiving
  143  substance abuse services from any service provider are
  144  guaranteed protection of the rights specified in this section,
  145  unless otherwise expressly provided, and service providers must
  146  ensure the protection of such rights.
  147         (7) RIGHT TO ACCESS AND CONFIDENTIALITY OF INDIVIDUAL
  148  RECORDS.—
  149         (a)Within 14 working days after receiving a written
  150  request from an individual or an individual’s legal
  151  representative, a service provider shall furnish a true and
  152  correct copy of all records in the possession of the service
  153  provider. The service provider may furnish the requested records
  154  in paper form or, upon request, in an electronic format. A
  155  service provider that maintains an electronic health record
  156  system shall furnish the requested records in the manner chosen
  157  by the requester, including, but not limited to, an electronic
  158  format, submission through a patient’s electronic personal
  159  health record, or access through a web-based patient portal if
  160  the service provider maintains a patient portal. For purposes of
  161  this section, the term “legal representative” has the same
  162  meaning as provided in s. 408.833(1).
  163         (b)Within 10 working days after receiving such a request
  164  from an individual or an individual’s legal representative, a
  165  service provider shall provide access to examine the original
  166  records in its possession, or microforms or other suitable
  167  reproductions of the records. The service provider may impose
  168  any reasonable terms necessary to ensure that the records will
  169  not be damaged, destroyed, or altered.
  170         Section 4. Subsection (1) of section 400.145, Florida
  171  Statutes, is amended to read:
  172         400.145 Copies of records of care and treatment of
  173  resident.—
  174         (1) Upon receipt of a written request that complies with
  175  the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
  176  of 1996 (HIPAA) and this section, a nursing home facility shall
  177  furnish to a competent resident, or to a representative of that
  178  resident who is authorized to make requests for the resident’s
  179  records under HIPAA or subsection (2), copies of the resident’s
  180  paper and electronic records that are in possession of the
  181  facility. Such records must include any medical records and
  182  records concerning the care and treatment of the resident
  183  performed by the facility, except for progress notes and
  184  consultation report sections of a psychiatric nature. The
  185  facility shall provide a resident with access to the requested
  186  records within 24 hours, excluding weekends and holidays, and
  187  provide copies of the requested records within 2 14 working days
  188  after receipt of a request relating to a current resident or
  189  within 30 working days after receipt of a request relating to a
  190  former resident.
  191         Section 5. Section 408.833, Florida Statutes, is created to
  192  read:
  193         408.833Client access to medical records.—
  194         (1)For purposes of this section, the term “legal
  195  representative” means an attorney who has been designated by a
  196  client to receive copies of the client’s medical, care and
  197  treatment, or interdisciplinary records; a legally recognized
  198  guardian of the client; a court-appointed representative of the
  199  client; or a person designated by the client or by a court of
  200  competent jurisdiction to receive copies of the client’s
  201  medical, care and treatment, or interdisciplinary records.
  202         (2)Within 14 working days after receiving a written
  203  request from a client or client’s legal representative, a
  204  provider shall furnish a true and correct copy of all records,
  205  including medical, care and treatment, and interdisciplinary
  206  records, as applicable, in the possession of the provider. A
  207  provider may furnish the requested records in paper form or,
  208  upon request, in an electronic format. A provider that maintains
  209  an electronic health record system shall furnish the requested
  210  records in the manner chosen by the requester, including, but
  211  not limited to, an electronic format, submission through a
  212  patient’s electronic personal health record, or access through a
  213  web-based patient portal if the provider maintains a patient
  214  portal.
  215         (3)Within 10 working days after receiving a request from a
  216  client or a client’s legal representative, a provider shall
  217  provide access to examine the original records in its
  218  possession, or microforms or other suitable reproductions of the
  219  records. A provider may impose any reasonable terms necessary to
  220  ensure that the records will not be damaged, destroyed, or
  221  altered.
  222         (4)This section does not apply to:
  223         (a)Records maintained at a licensed facility, as defined
  224  in s. 395.002, the primary function of which is to provide
  225  psychiatric care to its patients, or to records of treatment for
  226  any mental or emotional condition at any other licensed facility
  227  which are governed by s. 394.4615;
  228         (b)Records of substance abuse impaired persons which are
  229  governed by s. 397.501; or
  230         (c)Records of a resident of a nursing home facility.
  231         Section 6. Subsection (6) of section 456.057, Florida
  232  Statutes, is amended to read:
  233         456.057 Ownership and control of patient records; report or
  234  copies of records to be furnished; disclosure of information.—
  235         (6)(a) Any health care practitioner licensed by the
  236  department or a board within the department who makes a physical
  237  or mental examination of, or administers treatment or dispenses
  238  legend drugs to, any patient person shall, upon request of such
  239  patient person or the patient’s person’s legal representative,
  240  furnish, within 14 working days after such request in a timely
  241  manner, without delays for legal review, copies of all reports
  242  and records relating to such examination or treatment, including
  243  X rays and insurance information. A health care practitioner may
  244  furnish the requested reports and records in paper form or, upon
  245  request, in an electronic format. A health care practitioner who
  246  maintains an electronic health record system shall furnish the
  247  requested reports and records in the manner chosen by the
  248  requester, including, but not limited to, an electronic format,
  249  submission through a patient’s electronic personal health
  250  record, or access through a web-based patient portal if the
  251  practitioner maintains a patient portal. For purposes of this
  252  section, the term “legal representative” means a patient’s
  253  attorney who has been designated by the patient to receive
  254  copies of the patient’s medical records, a legally recognized
  255  guardian of the patient, a court-appointed representative of the
  256  patient, or any other person designated by the patient or by a
  257  court of competent jurisdiction to receive copies of the
  258  patient’s medical records.
  259         (b)Within 10 working days after receiving a written
  260  request by a patient or a patient’s legal representative, a
  261  healthcare practitioner must provide access to examine the
  262  original reports and records, or microforms or other suitable
  263  reproductions of the reports and records in the healthcare
  264  practitioner’s possession. The healthcare practitioner may
  265  impose any reasonable terms necessary to ensure that the reports
  266  and records will not be damaged, destroyed, or altered.
  267         (c)However, When a patient’s psychiatric, chapter 490
  268  psychological, or chapter 491 psychotherapeutic records are
  269  requested by the patient or the patient’s legal representative,
  270  the health care practitioner may provide a report of examination
  271  and treatment in lieu of copies of records. Upon a patient’s
  272  written request, complete copies of the patient’s psychiatric
  273  records shall be provided directly to a subsequent treating
  274  psychiatrist. The furnishing of such report or copies may shall
  275  not be conditioned upon payment of a fee for services rendered.
  276         Section 7. Paragraph (f) of subsection (1) of section
  277  316.1932, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
  278         316.1932 Tests for alcohol, chemical substances, or
  279  controlled substances; implied consent; refusal.—
  280         (1)
  281         (f)1. The tests determining the weight of alcohol in the
  282  defendant’s blood or breath shall be administered at the request
  283  of a law enforcement officer substantially in accordance with
  284  rules of the Department of Law Enforcement. Such rules must
  285  specify precisely the test or tests that are approved by the
  286  Department of Law Enforcement for reliability of result and ease
  287  of administration, and must provide an approved method of
  288  administration which must be followed in all such tests given
  289  under this section. However, the failure of a law enforcement
  290  officer to request the withdrawal of blood does not affect the
  291  admissibility of a test of blood withdrawn for medical purposes.
  292         2.a. Only a physician, certified paramedic, registered
  293  nurse, licensed practical nurse, other personnel authorized by a
  294  hospital to draw blood, or duly licensed clinical laboratory
  295  director, supervisor, technologist, or technician, acting at the
  296  request of a law enforcement officer, may withdraw blood for the
  297  purpose of determining its alcoholic content or the presence of
  298  chemical substances or controlled substances therein. However,
  299  the failure of a law enforcement officer to request the
  300  withdrawal of blood does not affect the admissibility of a test
  301  of blood withdrawn for medical purposes.
  302         b. Notwithstanding any provision of law pertaining to the
  303  confidentiality of hospital records or other medical records, if
  304  a health care provider, who is providing medical care in a
  305  health care facility to a person injured in a motor vehicle
  306  crash, becomes aware, as a result of any blood test performed in
  307  the course of that medical treatment, that the person’s blood
  308  alcohol level meets or exceeds the blood-alcohol level specified
  309  in s. 316.193(1)(b), the health care provider may notify any law
  310  enforcement officer or law enforcement agency. Any such notice
  311  must be given within a reasonable time after the health care
  312  provider receives the test result. Any such notice shall be used
  313  only for the purpose of providing the law enforcement officer
  314  with reasonable cause to request the withdrawal of a blood
  315  sample pursuant to this section.
  316         c. The notice shall consist only of the name of the person
  317  being treated, the name of the person who drew the blood, the
  318  blood-alcohol level indicated by the test, and the date and time
  319  of the administration of the test.
  320         d. Nothing contained in s. 395.3025(2) s. 395.3025(4), s.
  321  456.057, or any applicable practice act affects the authority to
  322  provide notice under this section, and the health care provider
  323  is not considered to have breached any duty owed to the person
  324  under s. 395.3025(2) s. 395.3025(4), s. 456.057, or any
  325  applicable practice act by providing notice or failing to
  326  provide notice. It shall not be a breach of any ethical, moral,
  327  or legal duty for a health care provider to provide notice or
  328  fail to provide notice.
  329         e. A civil, criminal, or administrative action may not be
  330  brought against any person or health care provider participating
  331  in good faith in the provision of notice or failure to provide
  332  notice as provided in this section. Any person or health care
  333  provider participating in the provision of notice or failure to
  334  provide notice as provided in this section shall be immune from
  335  any civil or criminal liability and from any professional
  336  disciplinary action with respect to the provision of notice or
  337  failure to provide notice under this section. Any such
  338  participant has the same immunity with respect to participating
  339  in any judicial proceedings resulting from the notice or failure
  340  to provide notice.
  341         3. The person tested may, at his or her own expense, have a
  342  physician, registered nurse, other personnel authorized by a
  343  hospital to draw blood, or duly licensed clinical laboratory
  344  director, supervisor, technologist, or technician, or other
  345  person of his or her own choosing administer an independent test
  346  in addition to the test administered at the direction of the law
  347  enforcement officer for the purpose of determining the amount of
  348  alcohol in the person’s blood or breath or the presence of
  349  chemical substances or controlled substances at the time
  350  alleged, as shown by chemical analysis of his or her blood or
  351  urine, or by chemical or physical test of his or her breath. The
  352  failure or inability to obtain an independent test by a person
  353  does not preclude the admissibility in evidence of the test
  354  taken at the direction of the law enforcement officer. The law
  355  enforcement officer shall not interfere with the person’s
  356  opportunity to obtain the independent test and shall provide the
  357  person with timely telephone access to secure the test, but the
  358  burden is on the person to arrange and secure the test at the
  359  person’s own expense.
  360         4. Upon the request of the person tested, full information
  361  concerning the results of the test taken at the direction of the
  362  law enforcement officer shall be made available to the person or
  363  his or her attorney. Full information is limited to the
  364  following:
  365         a. The type of test administered and the procedures
  366  followed.
  367         b. The time of the collection of the blood or breath sample
  368  analyzed.
  369         c. The numerical results of the test indicating the alcohol
  370  content of the blood and breath.
  371         d. The type and status of any permit issued by the

  386  authorized by a hospital to draw blood, or duly licensed
  387  clinical laboratory director, supervisor, technologist, or
  388  technician, or other person assisting a law enforcement officer
  389  does not incur any civil or criminal liability as a result of

  395         Section 8. Paragraph (a) of subsection (2) of section
  396  316.1933, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
  397         316.1933 Blood test for impairment or intoxication in cases
  398  of death or serious bodily injury; right to use reasonable
  399  force.—
  400         (2)(a) Only a physician, certified paramedic, registered
  401  nurse, licensed practical nurse, other personnel authorized by a
  402  hospital to draw blood, or duly licensed clinical laboratory
  403  director, supervisor, technologist, or technician, acting at the
  404  request of a law enforcement officer, may withdraw blood for the
  405  purpose of determining the alcoholic content thereof or the
  406  presence of chemical substances or controlled substances
  407  therein. However, the failure of a law enforcement officer to
  408  request the withdrawal of blood shall not affect the
  409  admissibility of a test of blood withdrawn for medical purposes.
  410         1. Notwithstanding any provision of law pertaining to the
  411  confidentiality of hospital records or other medical records, if
  412  a health care provider, who is providing medical care in a
  413  health care facility to a person injured in a motor vehicle
  414  crash, becomes aware, as a result of any blood test performed in
  415  the course of that medical treatment, that the person’s blood
  416  alcohol level meets or exceeds the blood-alcohol level specified
  417  in s. 316.193(1)(b), the health care provider may notify any law
  418  enforcement officer or law enforcement agency. Any such notice
  419  must be given within a reasonable time after the health care
  420  provider receives the test result. Any such notice shall be used
  421  only for the purpose of providing the law enforcement officer
  422  with reasonable cause to request the withdrawal of a blood
  423  sample pursuant to this section.
  424         2. The notice shall consist only of the name of the person
  425  being treated, the name of the person who drew the blood, the
  426  blood-alcohol level indicated by the test, and the date and time
  427  of the administration of the test.
  428         3. Nothing contained in s. 395.3025(2) s. 395.3025(4), s.
  429  456.057, or any applicable practice act affects the authority to
  430  provide notice under this section, and the health care provider
  431  is not considered to have breached any duty owed to the person
  432  under s. 395.3025(2) s. 395.3025(4), s. 456.057, or any
  433  applicable practice act by providing notice or failing to
  434  provide notice. It shall not be a breach of any ethical, moral,
  435  or legal duty for a health care provider to provide notice or
  436  fail to provide notice.
  437         4. A civil, criminal, or administrative action may not be
  438  brought against any person or health care provider participating
  439  in good faith in the provision of notice or failure to provide
  440  notice as provided in this section. Any person or health care
  441  provider participating in the provision of notice or failure to
  442  provide notice as provided in this section shall be immune from
  443  any civil or criminal liability and from any professional
  444  disciplinary action with respect to the provision of notice or
  445  failure to provide notice under this section. Any such
  446  participant has the same immunity with respect to participating
  447  in any judicial proceedings resulting from the notice or failure
  448  to provide notice.

  470  the resident’s chart, within the control or possession of the
  471  facility in accordance with s. 408.833 s. 400.145, shall
  472  constitute evidence of failure of that party to comply with good
  473  faith discovery requirements and shall waive the good faith
  474  certificate and presuit notice requirements under this part by
  475  the requesting party.
