SHB 2009 — Facilitating the use of dental records in missing person investigations.

What this bill does

Requires the Washington State Patrol and the Dental Quality Assurance Commission to develop a process for dentists to submit information indicating that a patient has consented to the release of their dental records in the event the patient becomes the subject of a missing person investigation. Authorizes the investigating agency for a missing person case to contact the missing person's dentist without permission from the missing person's family or next of kin if the missing person already consented to the release of their dental records.
