HB 6565 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT REQUIRING CERTAIN HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS TO COMMUNICATE ANY SAFETY PLAN PRESCRIBED TO A MINOR PATIENT UPON DISCHARGE WITH SUCH MINOR PATIENT'S SCHOOL.

HB 6565 requires hospitals and emergency psychiatric providers to share a minor patient's safety plan with their school upon discharge, but only with the minor's parent or legal guardian's consent. This affects minors, schools, and healthcare providers by creating a new communication requirement during medical discharge. The law aims to help schools support student safety by ensuring they are aware of any safety plans developed during medical care. It specifically applies to providers who prescribe such safety plans for minors.
