Parental Notification and Intervention Act of 2023

This bill requires medical providers to provide written parental notification (delivered personally or via certified mail) for abortions performed on unemancipated minors under 18, with a 96-hour waiting period after notification. Parents (including legal guardians) may seek a federal court injunction to block an abortion, which must be granted temporarily until the court rules. Exceptions exist for medical emergencies where immediate treatment is needed to prevent the minor’s death, with documentation required in medical records. Violations carry fines up to $100,000 or one year in prison per offense. The law does not override stricter state parental notification requirements.
