IDAHO PARENTAL RIGHTS ACT – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the Idaho Parental Rights Act.

This bill amends Idaho Code sections 32-1010, 32-1013, and 32-1015 to clarify and strengthen parental rights regarding medical decisions for minors. It establishes that government interference with parental rights requires "clear and convincing evidence" that the restriction is both "essential" and the "least restrictive means," and creates a right for parents to sue if their rights are violated. The key medical provision (Section 32-1015) requires parental consent for minors' healthcare except in specific emergencies (e.g., life-threatening situations where parents cannot be contacted), screenings for newborns, prenatal care, mental health crises, or time-sensitive crime-related medical needs. The bill directly affects Idaho parents, healthcare providers, and minors under 18, shifting consent requirements and legal standards for medical treatment.
