HB 127 would amend the laws regarding parental notification requirements for a minor seeking an abortion.
The bill would prohibit (except in the case of a medical emergency) a physician from performing or inducing an abortion upon a minor without first obtaining the notarized written consent of both the minor and one of their parents or legal guardian and would require the consenting parent to notify any other custodial parent.
The bill defines “custodial parent” to mean a parent in a family in which the parents have not separated or divorced or any parent of a minor who has been awarded joint custody.
Notice would not be required to a parent:
The bill would permit a minor to petition a court for a waiver of the consent requirement pursuant to the procedure outlined in the law.
