| Ludlow v. Ohio Dept. of Health | 2022-1391 | Public Records Act—R.C. 149.43(A)(1)(v) does not require public offices to release records when release is “prohibited by state or federal law,” and this exception applies to records that contain protected health information, R.C. 3701.17(B)—A decedent’s name and address, when combined with information regarding his or her cause of death, falls within definition of “protected health information,” R.C. 3701.17(A)(2), because the combined information reveals decedent’s identity and past physical-health status—Records that contain a decedent’s name and address, when combined with information regarding his or her cause of death, are exempt from disclosure under Public Records Act—Court of appeals’ judgment affirmed. | Fischer, J. | Slip Opinion No. 2024-Ohio-1399 |
