SB 190 establishes a new state law protecting parental rights by preventing government agencies from restricting a parent's ability to direct their child's upbringing, education, healthcare, and religious training unless the government can show a compelling need and that its restriction is the least burdensome way to achieve that need. The bill specifically lists nine parental rights, including the right to make healthcare decisions, access school and medical records, direct a child's education, excuse children from school for religious reasons, and be notified if state employees suspect abuse or neglect.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
