Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a right for parents/managing conservators/guardians to access a child's full treatment records (medical, dental, psychological, surgical) without regard to consent, which expands the less-custodial or paying parent's informational rights in custody/support disputes and restricts transgender healthcare by enabling parental oversight of gender-related treatments.
