HB17-1183

Mental Health Professional Disclosures Repeal Effect Clause

Type Bill
Session 2017 Regular Session
Subjects
Health Care & Health Insurance

Concerning the repeal of the condition required to be satisfied for a provision of law governing the disclosure of communications with mental health professionals to take effect.

Bill Summary:

In 2016, the general assembly enacted House Bill 16-1063, which allows mental health professionals to disclose to school and school district personnel and law enforcement agencies communications with a client if the client makes statements or exhibits behaviors that create an articulable and significant threat against a school or its occupants. The effect of the legislation was contingent on receipt from the secretary of the federal department of health and human services (HHS) of an exception to the privacy rule under the federal 'Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996' (HIPAA).

The state received notice from HHS that the legislation is not contrary to the HIPAA privacy rule and therefore does not qualify for an exception. Accordingly, the bill repeals the contingency provision.
