Summary

The bill lets a parent, legal guardian or custodian sign a caregiver authorization affidavit that gives an adult who lives with the child permission to consent to medical treatment, access records, enroll the child in school or activities, and apply for insurance. The affidavit must list contact information, be signed under penalty of perjury, witnessed and notarized, and can last up to two years. If the caregiver’s decision conflicts with the parent’s, the parent’s choice prevails.
