SB826,1,2
1
An Act
to amend
46.03 (18) (b);
to create
252.043 of the statutes;
relating to:
2
vaccination of minors without parental consent.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires a physician or other health care provider who is authorized to administer a vaccination to administer a medically appropriate vaccine to a minor who is 16 years of age or older and who requests to be vaccinated, regardless of whether a parent or guardian consents to the vaccination of the minor. If a parent or guardian refuses to provide consent to the vaccination, the physician or other health care provider must obtain the minor’s consent before billing a third party for the services. If the minor does not consent to billing a third party, the minor is responsible for paying for the services, which the Department of Health Services must bill to the minor based upon the minor’s ability to pay.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
