SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Notification of parents of certain health services to minors. Requires, notwithstanding other law to the contrary and unless prohibited by federal law or regulation, any state or local government agency employee who provides services to a minor, for which such minor is deemed an adult for purposes of consent, to notify, within two business days of delivery of such services, a custodial parent, legal guardian or other person standing in loco parentis of any service and any reason, condition or diagnosis requiring such service when the service relates to sexually transmitted diseases, the provision of emergency contraception, pregnancy, illegal drug use, and the contemplation of suicide. The employee is required to provide notice in person or by telephone, or if such attempts to notify are unsuccessful, by certified mail to the authorized person; however, notification will not be required when the employee has knowledge that such notification may result in future physical or mental abuse.
