Consent - California Tools and Resources #TeenHealthLaw

In most cases, parents must consent to health care on behalf of their minor children. However, there are situations in which minors must or may consent for their own care and opportunities in which other adults may consent to care on the minors’ behalf. The tools and publications on NCYL's hub for consent and confidentiality laws, TeenHealthLaw.org, summarize the rights of minors and third parties to consent to a minor’s health care in California.
