This act mandates parental or legal guardian notification for unemancipated minors under 18 seeking an abortion. Healthcare providers must provide written notice to parents and observe a 96-hour waiting period before the procedure, unless a court waives this due to documented abuse. Parents also gain the right to seek a court injunction to prevent the abortion.
