HB 1652 establishes parental rights in making decisions regarding cancer treatments for children. It allows parents to elect for their child to receive any available treatment, including experimental options, or to decline treatment entirely. The bill prohibits penalties against parents for their decisions and requires healthcare facilities to provide notification about the fertility risks associated with chemotherapy or radiation before treatment begins.
