Bill Summary

To protect patients' access to reproductive health care.

AI Summary

This bill establishes new provisions regarding reproductive healthcare access for minors, allowing individuals under 18 to consent to pregnancy-related medical services without parental permission or notification. Specifically, the bill defines key terms such as "health care provider" and "services related to pregnancy and pregnancy prevention," which include contraceptive counseling, prenatal care, and labor and delivery care (but explicitly exclude sterilization). Under this legislation, a minor can independently seek and receive reproductive healthcare services, and healthcare providers are prohibited from sharing information about these services with the minor's parents or guardians without the minor's express consent. The bill does not supersede mandatory reporting requirements to state departments like Public Health or Children and Families, and it stipulates that parents cannot be held financially responsible for medical services received by their minor child without their knowledge. This legislation aims to protect minors' privacy and autonomy in accessing reproductive healthcare services, ensuring they can seek necessary medical attention without parental interference.
