| Sec. 2. Any parent, including a parent who is a minor, may |
| 8 |
| consent to the
the
performance upon his or her child of a |
| 9 |
| medical or surgical procedure by a
physician licensed to |
| 10 |
| practice medicine and surgery, an advanced practice nurse who |
| 11 |
| has a written collaborative agreement with a collaborating |
| 12 |
| physician that authorizes provision of services for minors, or |
| 13 |
| a physician assistant who has been delegated authority to |
| 14 |
| provide services for minors or a dental procedure
by a licensed |
| 15 |
| dentist. The consent of a parent who is a minor shall not be
|
| 16 |
| voidable because of such minority, but, for such purpose, a |
| 17 |
| parent who is a
minor shall be deemed to have the same legal |

| capacity to act and shall have
the same powers and obligations |
| 19 |
