The bill S.B. No. 2025-2026 aims to enact section 3792.02 of the Revised Code, which allows pregnant minors to consent to receive health care necessary for maintaining their health and that of their unborn child. This includes prenatal care, health care during delivery, and post-delivery care, which encompasses family planning services. The bill specifies that the consent of the minor is sufficient and does not require approval from parents, guardians, or spouses, thereby ensuring that minors can access essential health services without additional barriers.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of health care facilities and professionals regarding communication with the minor's family. It mandates that health care providers request permission from the minor to contact family members for medical information that may aid in care. However, it restricts the sharing of the minor's medical history without consent. The bill also clarifies that parents or guardians are not financially liable for the health care services provided under this section and reinforces the obligation to report any suspected child abuse or neglect, ensuring that the safety and well-being of minors are prioritized.
