Parental consent for minor's healthcare treatment; establish certain provisions related thereto.

SB 2895 would have required parental consent for most healthcare treatments for unemancipated minors in Mississippi, removing existing exceptions for mental health treatment (for minors 15+) and venereal disease treatment. It would have also banned physicians from providing contraceptive supplies or information to minors without parental consent, aligning with the new consent requirement. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and never became law, so these provisions were never implemented. It directly affected minors seeking healthcare, parents, and healthcare providers in Mississippi.
