House Bill 1901 amends the Health and Safety Code to require an applicable professional to disclose confidential information regarding a patient of a state hospital to a descendant of the patient if the patient has been deceased for at least 50 years and the professional does not have information indicating that releasing the medical record is inconsistent with any prior expressed preference of the patient or personal representatives of the patient's estate.
