Parent's Right to Know Act of 2005

H.R. 3011, the Parent's Right to Know Act of 2005, would prohibit federal family planning funds from being used by any project that provides contraceptive drugs or devices to a minor without parental involvement. Under this bill, providers would be required to either obtain written consent from a parent or guardian, provide written notice to them at least five business days in advance, or verify that the minor is emancipated or has a court order. These requirements would apply to all family planning service providers receiving federal funding, and they would be required to certify their compliance to the Department of Health and Human Services.
