Louisiana Children's Code Tit. XI, Art. 1127. Request for disclosure of nonidentifying medical records or genetic information

A. Any adopted person, or if still a minor, his legal representative on his behalf, or a surrendering biological parent, may, upon written request, obtain nonidentifying medical or genetic information from the agency, firm, or lawyer without the necessity of filing a motion for disclosure as required by the provisions of Chapter 5 of Title XII of this Code.

B. Upon such a written request, the agency, firm, or lawyer shall make a good faith effort to review and abstract nonidentifying genetic or medical information from all available records and sources that are similar in content to the Statement of Family History.

C. Such nonidentifying medical or genetic information shall be made available for a reasonable charge.

D. For the purposes of this Article, an “agency, firm, or lawyer” shall include an agency, firm, or lawyer that is no longer licensed or authorized by the state for the placement of children for adoption, but was licensed or authorized by the state to perform such service at the time the child was surrendered.
