What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill requires a physician or other health care provider who is authorized to administer a vaccination to administer a medically-appropriate vaccine to a minor who is 16 years of age or older and who requests to be vaccinated, regardless of whether or not a parent or guardian consents to the vaccination of the minor. If a parent or guardian is refusing to provide consent to the vaccination, the physician or other health care provider shall obtain the minor's consent before billing a third party for the services. If the minor does not consent to billing a third party, the minor shall be responsible for paying for the services, which the Department of Health Services shall bill to the minor.
