AI Summary

This bill aims to protect minors from abusive contracts by prohibiting facilities and healthcare providers that serve minors from presenting them with any contracts, education plans, treatment plans, or documents that purport to give the minor's consent to physical restraint, isolation, corporal punishment, or invasive personal searches. It also prohibits schools and their employees from presenting students with contracts that claim to give the student's consent to be restrained. Violations of this law can result in disciplinary action by the appropriate licensing board, including suspension or revocation of licenses, and can be considered violations of the state's consumer protection law.
