Idaho Parental Rights Act strengthens parental rights in medical decisions for minors.
The Idaho Parental Rights Act amends existing law to reinforce parental rights in medical decisions for minors. It mandates that health care providers obtain parental consent before furnishing services, except in emergencies or when a parent has given blanket consent. It also allows parents to sue for violations of their rights, including seeking damages and attorney's fees. The act emphasizes that it does not condone abuse or neglect and does not permit euthanasia or assisted suicide. It also ensures parents can access their child's health information, barring specific exceptions.
