Bill
S 262
Massachusetts bill S. 262 restricts corporate control of electronic health records to prevent patient data exploitation, pending October committee hearing on still-undisclosed specific provisions.
S. 262 seeks to regulate corporate practices around electronic health records (EHRs) in Massachusetts, framing the issue as protecting patient data from what sponsors characterize as exploitative corporate behavior. The bill has been referred to the Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure committee and a hearing is scheduled for October 1, 2025, though specific legislative language is not publicly available yet.
EHR systems are critical infrastructure for patient care, affecting how medical information flows between providers and how patients access their own health data. How Massachusetts regulates EHR ownership, interoperability, and pricing could influence healthcare costs, patient safety, and innovation in health technology across the state.
