Georgia’s law prohibiting vaccine passports had an expiration date of June 30, 2023, so it was critical to replace it with a permanent law. SB1 was designed to permanently prevent state and local government agencies from requiring proof of COVID vaccination. With almost 6,500 emails sent by advocates to legislators, this bill passed!

What health care can minors consent to on their own?
Any female, regardless of age, may consent to medical or surgical treatment related to pregnancy (including prevention) or childbirth. Any minor who professes to be suffering from drug abuse may consent to treatment of conditions caused by the drug abuse. Any minor who professes to have a sexually transmitted disease or be at risk for HIV may consent to treatment for conditions caused by the sexually transmitted disease. The consent of parents or guardian is not necessary in any of these cases. A physician treating a minor may, but is not obligated to, inform the minor’s spouse, parent, or guardian of the treatment given or needed. The physician may make this determination without the consent of the minor.
