Bill > HB06763

This bill seeks to modify existing state law to explicitly require parental or guardian consent before a healthcare provider can administer a vaccine to a minor. The proposed legislation emphasizes the need for parents or legal guardians to provide explicit permission before any vaccination can be given to a child or teenager. By mandating this consent requirement, the bill aims to ensure that parents or guardians have direct control and decision-making power over their minor's medical treatments, specifically regarding vaccinations. The bill appears to be a straightforward legal measure designed to reinforce parental rights in healthcare decisions for minors, potentially addressing concerns about medical autonomy and parental involvement in a child's medical care. While the bill does not provide extensive details about exceptions or specific implementation, its primary purpose is clear: to prevent healthcare providers from vaccinating minors without first obtaining consent from a parent or legal guardian.
