HB 2652: abortion; notarized consent; repeal.

HB 2652 repeals Arizona's requirement for notarized parental consent for minors seeking abortions. It removes the current law that mandated either a minor's parent or guardian provide notarized written consent or a judge authorize the procedure through a confidential court process. This bill directly affects unemancipated minors in Arizona who would no longer need parental consent or judicial bypass to access abortion care. The repeal eliminates all associated provisions, including confidentiality rules, time limits for court hearings, and civil liability for providers who follow the old consent requirements. The bill is currently in early legislative stages (House First/Second Reading).

It specifically clarifies that the law does not override requirements for voluntary, informed consent in sterilization procedures.

This change directly affects minors seeking abortions who would previously have needed this notarized consent, removing that specific step while preserving existing judicial bypass options. The bill eliminates the confidentiality protections previously applied to notarized parental consent documents.

HB 2184 amends Arizona statutes to require hospitals, clinics, and healthcare providers to submit fetal death certificates within seven days for deaths occurring after 20 weeks of gestation or weighing over 350 grams, if requested by the mother. The bill also significantly expands abortion consent requirements, mandating that providers verbally inform patients 24 hours before the procedure about fetal development, alternatives, medical risks, and resources like adoption services and prenatal care assistance.
