SB 69 West Virginia Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Requiring parental notification of minors being prescribed contraceptives

SB 69 requires physicians in West Virginia to notify a minor's parents before prescribing contraceptives. It directly affects minors under 18 who have not graduated high school and their parents, as defined in the bill. The key provision mandates that doctors provide parental notification for any FDA-approved contraceptive prescribed to these minors. The bill does not restrict access to contraceptives but creates a notification requirement before a prescription is given.
