flag Ohio passes law giving parents access to minors' medical records, except in protected cases.

Gary Click (R-Vickery), the bill aims to prevent issues like surprise medical bills and treatment delays. flag It passed with broad bipartisan support, though some, including physician Rep. Anita Somani (D-Dublin), warned it could force providers to violate privacy laws. flag The bill now moves to the Ohio Senate.
