#NorthDakota House passed #NDHB1450 today, which provides parents the "right" to be in an examination room with a minor & given notice on the topics of questions asked with the option to opt out of answering questions "unrelated" to the visit.

The #NDHB1450 Minors' medical exams hearing was devastating. Multiple testimonies against, with one citing that a case of #abuse was only caught because the parent stepped out of the room and ok'd for the exam to continue, at which point, the 5yo patient stated their brother was abusing her. #medsky

#NDHB1450 provides expanded #parentalrights. Providers must disclose if a question relates to anything other than the immediate medical treatment of the minor. A provider cannot ask about abuse unless they have already documented the concern and notified the authorities. #antivax #LGBTQIA
