This bill increases parental control over minors’ health care and school data by requiring parental consent for STD treatment, most medical services, and the use of biofeedback devices or DNA/blood records. The bill narrows minors’ ability to seek mental health and substance use care without parental involvement and repeals direct access to outpatient crisis intervention services. In schools, parents must be given advance copies of K-12 questionnaires, must give permission for student participation, and have the right to opt their child out. Providers who do not follow these consent requirements may face penalties.
