What’s in it

This bill relates to the legal capacity of a minor to consent to provision of medical care or services to the minor for the prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of a sexually transmitted disease or infection. Under Code section 139A.35, 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. The bill amends the Code section to provide an exception to the minor’s legal capacity to consent. Under the bill, a minor does not have the legal capacity to consent to the provision of vaccinations for a sexually transmitted disease or infection.
