What’s in it

This bill provides that unless otherwise specifically provided under federal or state law, immunization or vaccination of a minor in this state is subject to prior written consent by the minor’s parent or legal guardian. The bill defines “minor” consistent with Code section 599.1, which provides that the period of minority extends to the age of 18, but all minors attain their majority by marriage; and that a person who is less than years of age who is tried, convicted, and sentenced as an adult and committed to the custody of the director of the department of corrections shall be deemed to have attained the age of majority for purposes of making decisions and giving consent to medical care, related services, and treatment during the period of the person’s incarceration.
