Bill Summary
Amends the Birth Control Services to Minors Act. Provides that any minor may give effective consent for contraceptive services or supplies and the consent of no other person is required. Provides that for such purposes, a minor is deemed to have the same legal capacity to act and has the same powers and obligations as a person of legal age.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Birth Control Services to Minors Act to allow any minor to consent to contraceptive services or supplies without requiring the consent of anyone else, treating minors as having the same legal capacity as adults for these purposes. Contraceptive services are defined as those in the Illinois Insurance Code but exclude sterilization, while contraceptive supplies include FDA-approved drugs and devices like long-acting reversible contraceptives, nonprescription oral hormonal contraceptives, and emergency contraceptives. This change removes previous conditions that required minors to be married, a parent, pregnant, have parental consent, face a serious health hazard, or be referred by a physician, clergyman, or planned parenthood agency to receive birth control services.
