parent's rights bill

In a world where family values face increasing challenges, the Parent’s Rights Bill 2025 stands as a beacon of hope, ensuring that parents retain the fundamental right to guide their children’s medical and mental health decisions—particularly those involving sensitive gender identity issues. This legislation empowers parents, protects children from irreversible decisions, and reaffirms the family’s role in pivotal healthcare determinations.

What does the parent's rights bill do?

The Parent’s Rights Bill 2025 underscores the essential role parents play in overseeing the medical and mental health care of their minor children. It sets out to fortify parental authority by establishing clear consent requirements for medical treatments and restricting governmental overreach into family dynamics and familial structures, especially concerning gender-affirming care and treatments related to gender identity. 

  • Parental Consent: Reinforces the necessity of parental consent for any medical or mental health intervention for minors.
  • Medical Decision-Making: Introduces the “Parents’ Rights in Medical Decision-Making Act,” ensuring parents can direct their child’s healthcare without undue interference.
  • Access to Records: Guarantees parental rights to access their children’s medical records, barring certain legal exceptions.
  • Custodial Protections: This bill prohibits courts from considering a parent’s gender affirmation of their child’s gender identity when that gender identity is incongruent with the child’s sex in determining custody or visitation arrangements.
  • Legal Recourse: Establishes a private right of action for parents against violations of these rights.
A horrifying Example from Minnesota

The Minnesota “Kidnapping Bill” represents a stark contrast to the goals of Georgia’s Parent’s Rights Bill. In Minnesota, legislation has passed that enables minors to receive sex-change surgery or cross-sex hormones without parental consent. Even more concerning, the state can assume emergency custody of children who wish to undergo such gender-related care if their parents do not consent. This bill effectively devalues parents’ rights in favor of state custody, branding Minnesota as a so-called trans refuge state. Governor Tim Walz’s support for this legislation has paved the way for state interference in personal family matters, allowing the state to intervene dramatically in the private decisions of families regarding their children’s health and identity.

This example shows the necessity of Georgia’s Parent’s Rights Bill, which aims to ensure that such scenarios, where parents could be overridden by the state in critical health decisions for their children, will not happen in Georgia.
