Allows licensed physicians to examine and treat minors who are victims of sexual offenses without parental consent.

This bill amends Hawaii law to allow licensed physicians to perform necessary examinations and treatments on minors who are victims of sexual offenses, without requiring parental consent. The physician must first make a reasonable effort to notify the minor's parent or legal guardian, but if the alleged offense was committed by someone with custody or decision-making responsibility for the minor's care, the physician may proceed with the examination and treatment based on the minor's consent.
