Bill > S3740

Introduced Session

This bill requires that a parent be notified notice before the parent's unemancipated minor undergoes any medical or surgical procedure or treatment. Notice of a pending procedure or treatment will not be required if the parent has set forth in a notarized writing that such notice was already received. Notice of a pending procedure or treatment will not be required if the attending physician certifies in the unemancipated minor's medical records that the procedure or treatment is necessary due to a medical emergency. A minor may, by petition or motion, seek a waiver of parental notification from a judge of the Superior Court pursuant to section 8 of P.L.1999, c.145 (C.9:17A-1.7).
