MINOR
This bill removes the scheduled repeal of a public records exemption that protects minors' identities when they petition courts to waive parental consent for abortion. The exemption ensures that information identifying minors seeking judicial waivers remains confidential and is not subject to public records requests. The effective date and sunset review provisions remain unchanged.
TIMELINE

Deleted the scheduled repeal of the public records exemption on October 2, 2025, which would have ended the confidentiality protection for minors seeking judicial waivers of parental consent for abortion.
