The bill repeals the requirement for notarized parental consent before a pregnant unemancipated minor can obtain an abortion in Arizona.

  • 36-2152

    the written and notarized consent from one of the minor's parents or the minor's guardian or conservator

    Removes the requirement for notarized parental consent, allowing minors to obtain an abortion without this consent.

  • 36-2152

    The notarized statement of parental consent and the description of the document or notarial act recorded in the notary journal are confidential and are not public records.

    Eliminates the confidentiality provisions related to notarized parental consent, as the requirement itself is repealed.

  • 36-2152

    The consent required by this section must be obtained on a form prescribed by the department of health services.

    Abolishes the requirement for a specific consent form for notarized parental consent, which is no longer needed.

  • 36-2152

    A judge of the superior court, on petition or motion, and after an appropriate hearing, shall authorize a physician to perform the abortion if the judge determines that the pregnant minor is mature and capable of giving informed consent to the proposed abortion.

    This change likely simplifies the judicial process for minors seeking abortions by removing the judge's authorization based on maturity.
