The purpose of this bill is to establish the Caregivers Consent Act, allowing a caregiver who is not a parent, legal custodian or guardian of a minor to consent to health care for a minor through an affidavit. The bill provides for the revocation and termination of consent, good faith reliance on the affidavit, exceptions to an affidavit's applicability, penalties for a false statement in an affidavit of consent and rule-making authority. This article is new; therefore, it has been completely underscored.
