Committee advances S 1316 to eliminate required reason when parents opt out of infant treatments
Summary
The committee recommended DO PASS for S 1316, which would remove the statutory requirement to provide a reason when parents opt out of infant treatments; Rep. Dori Healey will sponsor the bill on the House floor.
Rep. Dori Healey presented S 1316, stating the bill would "remove the required reason when parents choose to opt-out of infant treatments."
Rep. Leavitt moved to send S 1316 to the floor with a DO PASS recommendation; the motion carried by voice vote. Rep. Healey will sponsor the bill on the floor.
Why this matters: S 1316 would change statutory language about parental notice for opting out of infant medical treatments, removing a requirement that a reason be provided. The minutes do not record debate on policy rationale or potential downstream effects.
Next steps: The bill was recommended to the full House and will be sponsored by Rep. Healey.
