Parental Rights Act establishes parental rights in education and healthcare for minors.
The Parental Rights Act affirms parents' fundamental rights to direct their child's upbringing, education, healthcare, and welfare. It mandates the State Board of Education to adopt minimum standards for implementing these rights and requires local education agencies to adopt related policies. The act outlines procedures for investigating and resolving alleged violations and provides a limited private cause of action for parents after administrative remedies are exhausted. It also expands parental consent requirements for non-emergency medical treatment of minors.
