Minors; prohibit health-care providers and institutions from providing health care to without parental consent.

HB 1155 requires healthcare providers in Mississippi to obtain parental consent (or consent from an adult designated by a parent) before treating unemancipated minors (under 18) for most medical care. It mandates that providers give parents a written notice at each visit explaining their right to restrict consent to others, including the option to name specific adults authorized to consent. The bill repeals existing exceptions allowing minors to consent to STI treatment (Section 41-41-13) or mental health care related to substance use (Section 41-41-14) without parental input. Exceptions include emergencies, court-ordered care, mental health treatment under specific statutes, and cases involving child protective services. The bill died in committee in February 2025 and was never enacted.
