Revise right to try laws to include minors with a terminal illness
This bill amends Montana's Right to Try law to allow minors with a terminal illness to access investigational drugs, biological products, or devices that are not yet approved by the FDA. Previously, minors were excluded from the program regardless of their medical condition, but this change requires a treating health care provider to attest that the minor has a terminal illness. To qualify, the patient must have considered all other approved treatment options, receive a recommendation from their doctor, provide written informed consent, and have documentation confirming they meet the requirements. The legislation directly affects families of children with terminal illnesses seeking access to experimental treatments outside of clinical trials.
