A bill that would have cut parents out of the medical decisions for their children was pulled prior to an assembly vote by Senator Scott Wiener. The bill is now officially dead

California’s bill SB866 would allow children as young as 12 to receive vaccines without their parents’ knowledge or consent, AND SB1419 would allow their medical records to be sealed from parents. Pure insanity!

We’re close but a couple votes short on our teen vaccine bill (SB 866) on the Assembly floor. We’re thus moving the bill to inactive.

The anti-vaxxer harassment campaign worked this time, at the expense of teen health. We lost this round but aren’t going anywhere.

From East County Today, dated August 31, 2022.

A bill that would have cut parents out of the medical decisions for their children was pulled prior to an assembly vote by Senator Scott Wiener. The bill is now officially dead.

The bill, which was short the votes needed to pass, would have authorized youths 15-years-old or older to consent to vaccines that meet special federal agency criteria.  When the bill was originally introduced, the age limit was 12-years-old, however, it was later amended to a higher age limit to secure more votes.

The bill, SB 866, passed out of the California State Senate by a single vote as 21 votes are needed to pass a bill.  On May 12, the senate passed the bill in a 21-8 vote with 11 no votes on record.

According to the Bill:

Existing law prescribes various circumstances under which a minor may consent to their medical care and treatment without the consent of a parent or guardian. These circumstances include, among others, authorizing a minor 12 years of age or older who may have come into contact with an infectious, contagious, or communicable disease to consent to medical care related to the diagnosis or treatment of the disease, if the disease or condition is one that is required by law or regulation to be reported to the local health officer, or is a related sexually transmitted disease, as may be determined by the State Public Health Officer.

This bill would additionally authorize a minor 12 15 years of age or older to consent to vaccines that meet specified federal agency criteria. The bill would authorize a vaccine provider, as defined, to administer a vaccine pursuant to the bill, but would not authorize the vaccine provider to provide any service that is otherwise outside the vaccine provider’s scope of practice.

Then saw this today, September 7, 2022
