Medical records; persons seeking disability benefits may obtain at no charge until determination of disability.

HB 75 requires health care providers to give people free copies of their medical records while they are applying for disability benefits through insurance, public assistance, or retirement programs. This applies until the disability eligibility decision is made. After the decision - regardless of outcome - providers may charge state-set fees for record copies, but not more than specified in law. The bill directly affects individuals seeking disability benefits by reducing upfront costs during their application process. It takes effect July 1, 2026, but died in committee before passing.
