Matt Gaetz sponsors bill to expand parental access to student health records

November 14, 2023

Conservative firebrand Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) introduced legislation Tuesday that would strengthen parental access to student health records under family privacy laws.

If passed into law, the “Parent’s Right to Know Act” would amend the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act to ensure that parents have access to a student’s medical and counseling records after the Biden administration issued guidance earlier this year requiring written consent for the disclosure of such documentation if the student is a minor attending a postsecondary institution
