Mental health confidentiality
(Nybo, R-Lombard) amends the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act. It makes records and communications made or created in the course of providing mental health or developmental disabilities services protected from disclosure regardless of whether the records and communications are made or created in the course of a therapeutic relationship. It makes an exception if "unless otherwise expressly provided for in the Act." Just introduced and referred to the Senate Committee on Assignments.
