  2. Minor’s Consent & S.L. 2023-106: What Did & Did Not Change for Local Health Departments (LHDs) Webinar (No CEs offered) - 02/15/24

The Minor’s Consent & S.L. 2023-106: What Did & Did Not Change for LHDs Webinar was February 15, 2024, 12-1:30 pm.

This new law did not change minor’s consent but is important for providers to be aware of because of its impact on how parental consent for a minor’s care must be obtained and documented.
