This bill proposes updates to section 1-602 of the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning parents' rights regarding their minor children. It introduces new provisions that require health care entities to provide parents with equivalent access to electronic portals and other health care delivery platforms throughout their child's minority. This insertion aims to enhance parental involvement in their child's health care management.

Additionally, the bill expands the current rights of parents to request, access, and review their child's medical records. It clarifies that this right includes access to records for services that do not require parental consent, thereby ensuring that parents can stay informed about all aspects of their child's health care, even in cases where consent is not necessary. The bill does not alter existing rights but rather strengthens and clarifies them in the context of modern health care practices.
