Concerning greater consistency in the provision of health care services for minors under the age of 17.
By resolution, reintroduced and retained in present status.
Summary
The measure changes Washington law so that minors who are 17 or older can give their own consent for diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, inpatient mental‑health or substance‑use treatment, and outpatient care, and it shields parents from paying for a minor’s abortion. It also sets notice and discharge rules for facilities treating these youths. The bill aims to make health‑care rules for minors more uniform across the state.
