The primary bill
sponsor, Representative Bottoms, introduced House Bill 25-1251 to the House
Health and Human Services Committee. The bill prohibits anyone from soliciting,
arranging, or performing any medical or mental health service on a minor
without consent from a parent or legal guardian unless it is a medical
emergency, the minor is in custody of a department of human or social services,
or treatment is directed by court order. The bill makes conforming amendments
to statutes that currently allow for minor consent to treatment including
treatment for substance use, select mental health care, contraception,
sexually transmitted infection treatment, and prenatal care. The bill also
repeals certain legal protections and rights related to hospitalization,
and involuntary feeding and related judicial review processes for minors.
