Kentucky HB55 establishes parents' fundamental rights in decision-making for their children's care and access to technology.
Kentucky HB55 creates a new section affirming parents' fundamental rights to make decisions about their minor children's care, custody, and control, as well as their use and access to cellular phones. The bill specifies that these rights cannot be restricted by the Commonwealth or political subdivisions unless it is necessary to further a compelling government interest and is narrowly tailored. Parents who prevail in legal actions asserting these rights can obtain reasonable attorney's fees and costs. The provisions do not apply to child marriage laws.
