Summary
The bill redefines anyone under 19 as a minor, but ends minority if they marry before turning 19. It gives 18‑year‑olds who are not state wards the ability to sign contracts, obtain loans, buy or sell property, and make their own health‑care decisions. It also lets pregnant minors or those with children under eight consent to medical care without parental approval.
