In the final rule, we address disclosures
about other victims of
abuse, neglect and domestic violence in § 164.512 (c) rather than in the law enforcement
paragraph.
The new § 164.512 includes
paragraphs on: Uses and disclosures required by law; uses and disclosures for public health activities; disclosures
about victims of
abuse, neglect, or domestic violence; uses and disclosures for health oversight activities; disclosures for judicial and administrative proceedings; disclosures for law enforcement purposes; uses and disclosures
about decedents; uses and disclosures for cadaveric donation of organs, eyes, or tissues; uses and disclosures for research purposes; uses and disclosures to avert a serious threat to health or safety (which we had called «emergency circumstances» in the NPRM); uses and disclosures for specialized government functions (referred to as «specialized classes» in the NPRM); and disclosures to comply with workers» compensation laws.
