FAQ on the New Indiana "Abandoned Health Records" Act

Posted on August 24, 2010 by Dissent

Richard L. Santalesa writes:

Recently the Indiana legislature passed, and Indiana’s governor signed into law, Senate Enrolled Act No. 356 (a/k/a Public Law 84 of Second Regular Session 116th General Assembly 2010), a wide-ranging 71-page bill that, in addition to setting out practices and requirements for barbers, cosmetologists, well pump installers, mental health counselors and numerous other state licensed professions, included legislative modifications to add a new chapter to the Indiana Code entitled Health Records and Identifying Information Protection (the “Act”), IC 4-6-14, effective as of July 1, 2010. The new chapter specifies new duties given to the Indiana Attorney General related to the identification, handling, and ultimate transfer, destruction or delivery of abandoned health and other records containing personal information.

Read the FAQ on Information Law Group. Kudos to Indiana for codifying how the state may take charge of abandoned health records.
