HB 519: Restricting Minors’ Access to Healthcare

This bill revokes the ability for minors to provide consent to certain types of health care services without parent permission, including testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), the prevention of pregnancy (like accessing birth control), treatment for substance use, and mental health services. Under the bill, parents would have to consent for their child to receive any of these health services. The bill also grants parents the right to access all of their child's medical records.
