Provides that adoptive parents or the adopted child when he or she is an adult may petition the court for the release of the summaries. Provides that no liability shall attach to anyone who provides information for a health summary or to the adoption registry (at present, liability protections only apply to the adoption registry). Provides that all information in health summaries is confidential and is not to be used as evidence in any other proceeding. Effective immediately.

Effective immediately.
