Relating to electronic health record requirements; authorizing a civil penalty.

HB 4503 requires that electronic health records (EHRs) for Texas residents be stored exclusively within the United States and remain inaccessible to individuals outside the country, applying to medical facilities, health care practitioners, and government entities. The bill mandates that EHRs include specific medical history details about metabolic health and diet for chronic disease treatment while prohibiting the collection of credit scores or voter registration information. It also authorizes civil penalties for non-compliance with these requirements. The law aims to regulate EHR storage and content without specifying enforcement timelines or penalty amounts.
