Relating to medical decision-making by individuals under 18 years of age.
HB 2429 removes the ability of unemancipated minors under 18 to consent to most healthcare services without parental approval. It repeals existing laws (like ORS 109.640) that allowed minors to make certain medical decisions independently. The bill also updates school immunization requirements to require parental signatures on health forms, with exceptions only for minors who are legally emancipated. This change affects all minors under 18 in Oregon, requiring parental consent for routine medical care decisions.
