Amends GS 122C-53(a) (pertaining to when a mental health facility must disclose mental health records when it has client consent) as follows. Requires that the contents of the client’s or their legal representative’s revocable written consent for release of mental health information conform to the core elements for authorizations set forth in the federal Privacy Rule (45 CFR 164, Part E) (currently, no reference to federal law; removes the requirements that the release be to a specified person and valid for a specified period).

Specifies that the temporary rules remain in place in until permanent rules are adopted and become effective.
