SB190

This bill creates a new state law establishing parental rights protections, stating that government agencies cannot restrict a parent's right to direct their child's upbringing, education, health care, and moral or religious training unless the government can prove it has a compelling reason and no less restrictive way to achieve that goal. The law specifically guarantees parents the right to make health care decisions for their children, access their medical and school records, excuse them from school for religious reasons, and be notified if state employees suspect abuse or crimes against their child. These protections apply unless state law specifically says otherwise (such as in cases of abuse or neglect).
