Summary
HB 2426 seeks to codify a broad set of parental rights, giving parents the ability to direct their child's upbringing, schooling, medical and mental‑health decisions, and to control access to the child's records. It applies to all state and local laws, schools and agencies, and would require the government to show a compelling interest before overriding those rights.
