The committee substitute for HB 300 would ban the for-profit sale of personal health information without a patient’s consent, and set up a process for notifying patients of the electronic transfer of their medical records.

CSHB 300 was passed to third reading today in the House with 3 amendments. Out of the three amendments; two amendments were perfecting amendments offered by Rep. Lois Kolkhorst and the third amendment offered by Rep. David Simpson adds a public citizen to the task force established in the bill.
