Parental Rights

Would have required parents to consent before minors receive treatment for certain diseases or mental health services, including from mobile crisis teams. Schools would need to notify parents before giving students surveys or questionnaires and allow opt-outs. Parents would also gain the right to consent before biofeedback devices are used on their children. Died in committee.
