For legislation to establish criteria to assess the maturity of a minor seeking an abortion. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to establish criteria for assessing the maturity of a minor seeking an abortion. It proposes that a judge of the Superior Court Department of the Trial Court consider several factors when evaluating the minor's maturity, such as their goal-setting, self-control, emotional intelligence, and sense of responsibility. The judge would be required to make a written record of their findings to support the determination of the minor's maturity or immaturity. Additionally, the judge would maintain annual records of the number of petitions or motions for judicial consent to abortion, including the age of the minors, and provide this information to the Commissioner of Public Health, who would then prepare statistical tables and report them to the general court.
