Senate Bill 69 amends the Public Health Code to require written parental consent before procedures involving vaginal or anal penetration can be performed on a minor; requires such procedures to be within the treating health care professional’s scope of practice; requires another health professional to be in the room during such procedures; provides exceptions; establishes criminal penalties for violations; and requires the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) to create a standardized consent form. Senate Bill 71 requires performance of a medical service involving vaginal or anal penetration to be included in a patient’s medical records; requires those records to be maintained for at least 15 years; establishes administrative and criminal penalties for noncompliance; and allows LARA to promulgate rules to provide guidance on standards of practice for services involving vaginal or anal penetration in consultation with appropriate professional associations and other interested parties. Senate Bills 70 and 72 are identical bills that add the felonies established under Senate Bills 69 and 71 to the sentencing guidelines in the Code of Criminal Procedure.
