Test results; dissemination; immunity from liability; practice of
medicine
Sec. 3. (a) The results of a test conducted as part of a study
conducted under this chapter are not public records. The results
comprise information that is required by the investigator for the
preparation of the study. Since these are the results of a statistical
examination, the findings in a specific instance or collection of
instances are not admissible in evidence in an action in a court or in
a proceeding before a tribunal, a board, an agency, or an individual.
(b) The consolidated results of the examinations may be
disseminated and made public for any use, but there must be no
method of identifying the individuals involved.
(c) An individual participating in a bona fide activity concerned
with the conduct of statistical examination is immune from all
liability, civil or criminal, that might otherwise be incurred or
imposed.
(d) This chapter may not be construed as permitting a person to
engage in the practice of medicine.
