SB 948 — SS/SB 948
SB 948 establishes a set of parental rights related to the upbringing, education, health care, and mental health of children, emphasizing that these rights are fundamental and may not be restricted by governmental authorities unless such restrictions are essential to a compelling governmental interest and are the least restrictive means of achieving that interest. The bill includes provisions related to consent for biometric scans, DNA records, and video or voice recordings of children, as well as access to educational and health records. It also mandates transparency in school district financial records and repeals provisions allowing minors to consent to medical treatment for venereal disease and substance abuse. The bill is currently prefiled for the 2026 legislative session.
