This bill amends current public health and safety laws in Wyoming by repealing a provision that allowed for the vaccination or medical treatment of a minor child without the consent of a parent or guardian. Specifically, it targets W.S. 35-4-113(b)(i), effectively removing the authority for such actions to be taken without parental approval.

The bill emphasizes the importance of parental consent in medical decisions regarding minors, reinforcing the rights of parents in the healthcare decisions affecting their children. It is set to take effect immediately upon the completion of all necessary legislative processes as outlined in the Wyoming Constitution.
