MN HF22

Creates a "Parent's Bill of Rights" establishing fundamental parental rights to direct the upbringing, education, and health care of minor children (age 17 and under), which government entities can only infringe upon by demonstrating a compelling state interest using the least restrictive means

Requires health care providers to allow parents/guardians full access to their minor child's medical examination room and provide written notice of any standardized questions to be asked of the minor, with exceptions for suspected abuse cases

Grants parents rights to written consent before physical/mental health examinations, pharmaceutical/surgical interventions, biometric scans, blood/DNA collection and storage, and most video/voice recordings of their minor child by government entities

Requires health professionals to notify parents in writing when a minor child independently consents to health services under existing Minnesota law exceptions (such as for pregnancy, STIs, or mental health treatment)

Makes it grounds for employee discipline to encourage/coerce a minor to withhold information from parents or to discriminate against parents for exercising these rights
