Parental rights; creating the Parental Medical Rights Protection Act; prohibiting removal of child from custodial parent under certain circumstances. Effective date.

Summary

The bill creates the Parental Medical Rights Protection Act, which bars removing a child from a custodial parent solely for alleged medical neglect unless clear and convincing proof shows the treatment is essential to prevent death or permanent disability and the parent refused it. It allows parents to rebut the claim with evidence and expert testimony, while still permitting emergency action when a child faces an immediate, serious risk.
