HB 10 (2025)

Establish a parent's bill of rights

Summary:

Establishes a parental bill of rights, such as the right "to consent in writing before a biometric scan of his or her minor child is made, shared, or stored."

The bill also requires schools to adopt a policy to promote parental involvement in the public school system. School boards must also provide parents a written copy of a "Parents' Bill of Rights."

The bill then clarifies that parental consent is required before a health care provider treats a minor.

This bill establishes a misdemeanor penalty and a right to sue schools and health care providers that violate the law. Teachers and health care providers could also lose their licenses.

The House amended the bill to also require schools to respond to parental inquiries "regarding any and all matters related to their minor child," within five days.
