What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
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.
