AZ SB1121

Adds a new exception to Arizona's parental consent requirement for minors seeking abortion: allows abortion without parental or judicial consent if the attending physician receives informed written consent from the minor and determines the minor is mentally and physically competent to give consent under all surrounding circumstances.

Requires the physician to inform the minor of three specific items before obtaining consent: that the minor is pregnant according to the physician's best judgment, the number of weeks of pregnancy duration, and the particular risks associated with the minor's pregnancy and abortion technique.

Maintains existing exceptions to parental consent including: incest cases involving family members or household contacts (requiring physician to report to law enforcement and preserve fetal tissue for investigation), and medical emergencies where delay would risk the minor's death or serious bodily harm.

Preserves all other existing requirements and penalties, including the 48-hour court hearing timeline for judicial bypass petitions, confidentiality of proceedings, class 1 misdemeanor penalties for violations, and civil remedies for parents or guardians (up to $5,000 statutory damages plus actual damages and attorney fees).
