Permit pregnant minor to consent to receive certain health care
Refer to Committee
Summary
The bill lets a pregnant minor give consent for prenatal visits, delivery services, and recovery care, including family‑planning services, without needing a parent, guardian, or spouse to sign. It also lets health providers ask the minor if they want to contact a parent or spouse for extra medical information, but that contact is optional. Parents and guardians are not responsible for the cost of the care.
