The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6763, seeks to amend current statutes to explicitly prohibit health care providers from administering vaccines to minors without obtaining prior consent from the minor's parent or guardian. This legislative change aims to ensure that parents or guardians retain authority over vaccination decisions for their children.
The bill introduces new legal language that emphasizes the necessity of parental or guardian consent before any vaccination can be given to a minor. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text of the bill, indicating a straightforward addition to existing regulations regarding vaccine administration for minors.
