HB 2374 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Creates provisions relating to children's access to health care services

HB 2374 prohibits health care providers from denying any health care service to a minor child based on the child's vaccination status. It also bans physicians or medical practices from terminating a minor patient's care solely because a parent or guardian refuses to consent to vaccinations for the child. The bill directly affects minors, their parents/guardians, and health care providers by requiring equal access to services regardless of vaccination choices. Key provisions explicitly forbid both denial of care and dismissal of minor patients due to vaccination-related decisions. The bill is currently in early legislative stages (prefiled and first reading).
