Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to providing medical care to minors for sexually transmitted diseases without a parent's or guardian's consent
AI Summary
This bill amends the Public Health Law to allow licensed medical professionals, including physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and licensed midwives, to provide treatment for sexually transmitted diseases to minors under the age of 18 without the consent or knowledge of their parents or guardians. The bill also allows these professionals to provide preventative care, such as administering vaccines, to minors without parental consent if the minor has the capacity to consent. The bill further clarifies the release of patient information related to these services and does not expand the scope of practice for any licensed professionals.
