A bill for an act relating to a pregnant minor’s legal capacity to consent to the provision of certain medical care.

Summary

The bill lets a pregnant minor give legal consent for prenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal medical services if a parent, guardian, or custodian cannot be reached. Health‑care providers must still obtain the minor’s informed consent. It targets pregnant teens and the clinicians who treat them.
