SB353

Montana SB353 revises right to try laws to include minors with terminal illness.

Montana SB353 amends the Right to Try Act to include minors with a terminal illness in the eligibility for treatment with an investigational drug, biological product, or device. The bill specifies that a minor is not eligible unless they have a terminal illness attested by their health care provider. The legislation maintains the existing eligibility criteria for adults, including consideration of all FDA-approved treatment options, a recommendation from a health care provider, written informed consent, and documentation of meeting the requirements.
