Maddy summarySB 547 allows minors to consent to certain health services (like reproductive care, mental health, or substance abuse treatment) without parental permission. It requires healthcare providers to follow new rules for these services and ensures parents or legal guardians can access their minor child’s medical records for those specific services if they choose. The bill directly affects minors seeking confidential care, parents seeking record access, and healthcare providers who must update their consent and record-keeping practices. It creates a clear framework for minor self-consent while preserving parental rights regarding related medical records.
