HB 1824 -- Contraceptives for Minors

Sponsor:  Schaaf

This bill prohibits a licensed health care professional from
prescribing or dispensing or a licensed pharmacy from dispensing
any contraceptive drug or device to a minor younger than 16 years
of age without the consent of the minor's parent.  Anyone who
violates this provision will be guilty of a class C misdemeanor.

A licensed health care professional, licensed pharmacy, or
licensed pharmacist who in good faith believed parental consent
was obtained, when in fact it was not, will not be held civilly
or criminally liable.
