New Act

Synopsis As Introduced
Creates the Student Optional Disclosure of Private Mental Health Act. Defines terms. Provides that all institutions of higher learning shall, at or near the time that an incoming student enrolls at the institution of higher learning, provide that student the opportunity to pre-authorize in writing the disclosure of certain private mental health information to a designated person. Provides that all institutions of higher learning shall prepare a form for the purpose of such pre-authorization. Provides that all institutions of higher learning shall create a policy to ensure that every new student is given the opportunity to complete and submit the form if he or she so desires.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the contents of the introduced bill with the following changes: Provides that an institution of higher learning may disclose a student's mental information if a physician, clinical psychologist, or qualified examiner makes a determination that the student poses a clear danger (rather than a clear and present danger) to himself, herself, or others to protect the student or other person against a clear, imminent risk of serious physical or mental injury or disease or death being inflicted upon the person or by the student on himself, herself, or another. Provides that the physician, clinical psychologist, or qualified examiner shall notify the designated person that the physician, clinical psychologist, or qualified examiner has made a determination that the student poses a clear, imminent danger (rather than a clear and present danger) to himself, herself, or others. Provides that all institutions of higher learning shall create a policy and supporting procedures (rather than just a policy) to ensure that every new student is given the opportunity to complete and submit the authorization form if he or she so desires.
