HEALTH/CHILDREN: Provides relative to a minor's consent for medical procedures and treatments
This bill amends the text of a related health measure to correct a formatting error by changing the word "Paragraph" to "Subsection" within the section regarding minors' consent for medical procedures. The change does not alter the actual rules about who can consent to treatment for young people but ensures the legislation uses consistent legal terminology. It directly affects the legal framework governing medical decisions for minors and the healthcare providers who must follow them.
