New Jersey S1351 requires parents to be notified before their unemancipated minor undergoes any medical or surgical procedure or treatment.

New Jersey S1351 mandates that parents must be notified before their unemancipated minor undergoes any medical or surgical procedure or treatment. Exceptions include cases where the parent has already received notice in a notarized writing or if the procedure is necessary due to a medical emergency. The bill also allows a minor to petition a judge for a waiver of parental notification if the minor is deemed sufficiently mature to decide on the procedure or if the notification is not in the minor's best interests. In cases of abuse, notification can also be waived.
