Prisoner Medical Information Release Authorization

Current understanding

SB0769 (introduced) would amend Michigan’s Corrections Code (1953 PA 232) by adding section 64a to allow prisoners in state correctional facilities to authorize the release of their medical information to designated individuals. The bill extends existing medical-records privacy frameworks into the corrections context, giving incarcerated individuals a formal mechanism to share their health information with family or other designees.
