Bill > SB5185

This bill proposes the Parental Notification of Abortion Act, which would require physicians to notify at least one parent or legal guardian of a pregnant minor at least 48 hours before performing an abortion, with certain exceptions such as in a medical emergency or if the minor is a victim of abuse. The bill outlines the procedures for a minor to petition a court for a waiver of the notification requirement, including provisions for confidentiality and expedited appeals. The bill also includes penalties for violations, such as making it a gross misdemeanor to perform an abortion without providing the required notice.
