parents' rights; private action

SB 1363 creates a legal right for parents to make decisions about their children's upbringing, education, health care, and mental health, and prohibits interference with these rights. It allows parents to sue individuals or entities that violate this right in state or federal court, seeking remedies like court orders, financial compensation, and attorney fees. The bill directly affects parents, schools, healthcare providers, and other organizations that interact with children's education or health. It establishes a private legal mechanism for parents to challenge actions they believe undermine their parental authority, without requiring government enforcement.
