On page 6, beginning on line 29, after "provider" strike all material through "discretion," on line 30 and insert "shall"

On page 6, beginning on line 31, after "youth." strike all material through "documentation." On line 32

On page 7, beginning at the beginning of line 4, strike all material through "patient." on line 9

Renumber the remaining subsections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.

EFFECT: A health care facility or provider must require documentation that the minor patient is an unaccompanied homeless youth in order to provide informed consent under the provisions of the underlying bill (instead of allowing health care facilities and providers to require this documentation at their discretion). The discretionary ability of health care providers to rely on representation or declarations stating that the minor patient is an unaccompanied youth is removed.
