To keep these requirements consistent with those for physicians, this Amendment adds the provisions in HA 1 to HB 105 (152nd), which require the notice of an office closure to include the date services will cease and that when an office closes, notice must be provided to the applicable governing body explaining how former patients or clients may obtain their records. It also delays the effective date of SB 74 for 6 months. In addition to the requirements under HA 1 to HB 105, this Amendment requires the patient's or client's written consent before providing records to a new provider.
