BILL NUMBER:S6847 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the correction law, in relation to granting the state commission of correction authority to access inmate medical records PURPOSE OF BILL: This bill would amend the Correction Law to clarify that the State Commission of Correction ("the Commission") has the authority to obtain medical records of certain inmates being treated in outside medical facilities. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the bill would amend Correction Law § 46(1) to specifically include inmate medical records in the type of information to which the Commission has access. Section 2 of the bill would amend Correction Law § 46(2) to authorize Commission attorneys to issue and enforce subpoenas on behalf of the Commission; it also provides that the Commission's subpoena powers extend to the medical records of inmates that are made outside of a correctional facility during the inmate's incarceration.
