Proposes amendment to constitution regarding parental notification for medical or surgical procedures or treatments relating to pregnancy to be performed on minor children.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment requiring New Jersey's legislature to mandate parental notification before any medical or surgical procedure related to pregnancy is performed on unemancipated minors (under 18). It directly affects minors seeking pregnancy-related care, their parents or legal guardians, and healthcare providers who must comply with the notice requirement. The amendment would override a 2000 New Jersey Supreme Court ruling that struck down a similar law, which found the previous parental notification requirement violated the state constitution's privacy protections. The proposed change explicitly states the legislature may require this notice "irrespective of any right or interest otherwise provided in the Constitution."
