abortion; notarized consent; repeal

SB 1220 repeals the requirement that physicians obtain a **notarized written consent** from a parent or guardian before performing an abortion on an unemancipated minor in Arizona. This change directly affects minors seeking abortions who would previously have needed this notarized consent, removing that specific step while preserving existing judicial bypass options. The bill eliminates the confidentiality protections previously applied to notarized parental consent documents. It does not alter the existing judicial bypass process (where a minor can seek court approval without parental consent) or the exceptions for medical emergencies or incest.
