KS HB2508

Requires parental consent before healthcare providers can prescribe or dispense any medication, administer diagnostic tests using bodily fluids, or conduct ongoing behavioral health treatment for minors (under 18)

Expands restrictions beyond school facilities to apply in all settings, removing the previous limitation that only applied when minors or healthcare professionals were at school facilities

Allows healthcare providers to conduct behavioral health assessments or interventions for minors experiencing a behavioral health crisis, perform legally required screenings, and provide health education without parental consent

Exempts specific existing Kansas statutes covering emergency care, treatment for venereal disease, drug abuse treatment, immunizations, care for pregnant minors, blood donation by those over 16, and procedures under child welfare codes

Healthcare providers who violate these requirements face professional discipline from their licensing agency
