Bill > SB116

This bill, the Parents Rights Protection Act, creates new sections in the Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) Chapter 405 to establish specific rights for parents. The bill finds that the general welfare and well-being of Kentucky's citizens depend on a clear understanding of parental rights, which are inalienable unless legally waived or terminated. The bill defines "parent" and outlines various rights, including the right to direct the education, upbringing, and healthcare of their minor child, as well as access and review school and medical records. The bill also requires parental consent for certain actions, such as biometric scans, DNA testing, and video/audio recordings, with some exceptions. The bill specifies that it does not authorize abuse or neglect, and any review of the bill's sections must apply the judicial standard of strict scrutiny.
