What’s in it
This bill relates to vaccines, including modifying provisions related to a minor’s legal capacity to give consent to the provision of vaccines and provisions related to the instruction provided to students enrolled in school districts, accredited nonpublic schools, and charter schools related to the human papilloma virus. Current law provides that a minor has the legal capacity to act and give consent to provision of medical care or services to the minor for the prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of a sexually transmitted disease or infection by a hospital, clinic, or health care provider.
Read the full explanation
The bill modifies this provision to provide that a minor shall not have the legal capacity to give consent for the provision of vaccinations included on the vaccine injury table created and revised pursuant to federal law. Current law requires that the human growth and development or health curriculum provided to students enrolled in school districts, accredited nonpublic schools, and charter schools be both research-based and age-appropriate. Within those limitations, current law also requires that the human growth and development or health curriculum include information regarding the human papilloma virus (HPV) and the availability of a vaccine to prevent HPV. The bill strikes this requirement.
