HB 2884 requires health professionals to share a minor’s health information with parents or legal guardians and removes minors’ ability to block this disclosure. It mandates parental presence during health consultations for minors under 18 (except in abuse cases) and amends physician-patient privilege laws to state minors cannot refuse to share confidential health information with parents.
