There are two dangerous bills, SB 1288 and HB 1505, moving through the legislature that could have devastating consequences for young people’s health and privacy.

The bills currently being pushed would severely restrict minors' rights to make their own health decisions. They propose requiring parental consent for things like surveys, questionnaires, and even biofeedback devices, with potential implications for sensitive issues such as STI testing and birth control access. These bills put young people in a position where they have to choose between seeking necessary healthcare and protecting their privacy, exposing them to potential judgment or harm. By eroding the trust between minors and healthcare providers, they create barriers to vital, confidential care.

It's time to speak out, voice your concerns, and urge committee members to reject these harmful proposals. Reach out today and demand they protect the rights and well-being of Florida's youth.
