Bill > HF91

This bill requires that a parent or legal guardian must be physically present when a healthcare provider administers a vaccine to a minor, with an important exception. The exception allows vaccines to be administered without parental presence if the minor has legally consented to the vaccination under specific existing Minnesota statutes (sections 144.341, 144.342, or 144.3441), which likely relate to circumstances where minors can independently consent to certain medical treatments. The bill establishes this requirement by adding a new section to Minnesota Statutes, creating a legal mandate for parental/guardian involvement in minor vaccination scenarios. The provision will become effective immediately after it is enacted, signaling the legislature's intent to ensure parental awareness and involvement in their children's vaccination processes while still maintaining existing legal provisions for minor medical consent.
