otherwise prohibited by law.
6. The right to request, access and review all written and

that the information not be released.
7. The right to consent in writing before a biometric scan of the
minor child is made pursuant to section 15-109.
8. The right to consent in writing before any record of the minor
child's blood or deoxyribonucleic acid is created, stored or shared,

conducted on the minor child pursuant to section 12-2803 unless authorized
pursuant to section 13-610 or a court order.
9. The right to consent in writing before this state or any of its
political subdivisions makes a video or voice recording of the minor

10. The right to be notified promptly if an employee of this state,
any political subdivision of this state, any other governmental entity or
any other institution suspects that a criminal offense has been committed
against the minor child by someone other than a parent, unless the
incident has first been reported to law enforcement and notifying the
parent would impede a law enforcement or child safety services

obligation for school districts and charter schools to report misconduct

11. The right to obtain information about a child safety services

conduct that is unlawful or to abuse or neglect a child in violation of
the laws of this state. This section does not prohibit courts, law
enforcement officers or employees of a government agency responsible for
child welfare from acting in their official capacity within the scope of
their authority. This section does not prohibit a court from issuing an
order that is otherwise allowed by law.
C. Any attempt to FACILITATE, encourage or coerce OR ANY COMPLETED
ACT THAT FACILITATES, ENCOURAGES OR COERCES a minor child to withhold
information from the child's parent is grounds for discipline of an
employee of this state, any political subdivision of this state, any other
governmental entity or any other institution, except for law enforcement
personnel WHO HAVE PROBABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE THAT A CRIME WAS COMMITTED BY
THE MINOR CHILD'S PARENT AND WHO WITHHOLDS THAT INFORMATION IN THE COURSE
OF AN INVESTIGATION OF THAT CRIME. THIS STATE, A POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF
THIS STATE, A GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY OR AN INSTITUTION MAY NOT MAINTAIN A
POLICY THAT ALLOWS AN EMPLOYEE TO FACILITATE, ENCOURAGE OR COERCE A MINOR
CHILD TO WITHHOLD INFORMATION FROM THE MINOR CHILD'S PARENT.
D. Unless those rights have been legally waived or legally
terminated, parents have inalienable rights that are more comprehensive
than those listed in this section. This chapter does not prescribe all
rights of parents or preempt or foreclose claims or remedies in support of

common law of this state. Unless otherwise required by law, the rights of
parents of minor children shall not be limited or denied.

parents to direct the upbringing, education, health care and mental health
of their children. A parent may bring suit against a governmental entity
or official described in this subsection based on any violation of the
statutory rights set forth in this chapter or any other action that
interferes with or usurps the fundamental right of parents to direct the
upbringing, education, health care and mental health of their children in
the superior court in the county in which the violation or other action
occurs or in federal court, if authorized by federal law, or before an
administrative tribunal of appropriate jurisdiction. A parent may raise a
violation of this chapter as a claim or a defense. IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT
UNDER THIS SECTION, A SHOWING OF A VIOLATION OF THE RIGHTS GUARANTEED OR
RECOGNIZED BY THIS SECTION ESTABLISHES A REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF
IRREPARABLE HARM.
F. In any action under subsection E of this section, the
governmental entity or official described in subsection E of this section
has the burden of proof to demonstrate both of the following:
1. That the interference or usurpation is essential to accomplish a
compelling government interest of the highest order, as long recognized in
the history and traditions of this state in the operation of its
regulatory powers.
2. That the method of interference or usurpation used by the
government is narrowly tailored and is not otherwise served by a less
restrictive means.
G. THIS STATE, ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF THIS STATE OR ANY
OFFICIAL ACTING UNDER COLOR OF LAW EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS TO
SOVEREIGN, QUALIFIED OR DISCRETIONARY IMMUNITY FOR ANY VIOLATION OF THIS
SECTION.
G. H. A governmental entity or official described in subsection E
of this section may interfere with or usurp the fundamental right of
parents to direct the upbringing, education, health care and mental health
of their children only if the governmental entity or official successfully
demonstrates both elements described in subsection F of this section. If
the governmental entity or official is unsuccessful, the court shall grant
appropriate relief, such as INCLUDING declaratory or injunctive relief,
compensatory damages and attorney fees, based on the facts of the case and
the law as applied to the facts. AT A MINIMUM, THE GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY IS
LIABLE TO THE MINOR CHILD'S PARENT IN AN AMOUNT OF $500,000 [FOR EACH
INSTANCE OF INTERFERING WITH OR USURPING A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT], AND A
GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL IS PERSONALLY LIABLE TO THE MINOR CHILD'S PARENT IN AN
AMOUNT OF $20,000 FOR EACH [SEPARATE] INSTANCE OF INTERFERING WITH OR
USURPING A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT. A GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY THAT EMPLOYS THE
OFFICIAL MAY NOT INDEMNIFY AN OFFENDING OFFICIAL AND MAY NOT USE PUBLIC
MONIES TO PAY FOR THE OFFICIAL'S LIABILITY.     THE RIGHT TO SUE BELONGS
INDIVIDUALLY TO EACH OF THE MINOR CHILD'S PARENTS, AND ONE PARENT MAY FILE
SUIT EVEN IF THE MINOR CHILD'S OTHER PARENT DOES NOT CONSENT TO THE
ACTION.
I. IN ADDITION TO SUBSECTION H OF THIS SECTION, A MINOR CHILD'S
PARENT MAY BRING SUIT AGAINST AN EMPLOYEE WHO HAS OR WHO HAS ATTEMPTED TO
FACILITATE, ENCOURAGE OR COERCE A MINOR CHILD TO WITHHOLD INFORMATION FROM
THE MINOR CHILD'S PARENT. AT A MINIMUM, AN EMPLOYEE WHO IS FOUND LIABLE
IS PERSONALLY LIABLE IN AN AMOUNT OF $20,000 [FOR EACH INSTANCE IN WHICH
INFORMATION WAS WITHHELD FROM THE MINOR CHILD'S PARENT], AND A
GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY THAT EMPLOYS THE EMPLOYEE MAY NOT INDEMNIFY AN
OFFENDING EMPLOYEE AND MAY NOT USE PUBLIC MONIES TO PAY FOR THE EMPLOYEE'S
LIABILITY.   A PARENT MAY BRING SUIT AGAINST THIS STATE, ANY POLITICAL
SUBDIVISION OF THIS STATE OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY OR INSTITUTION
THAT MAINTAINS A POLICY THAT ALLOWS THE FACILITATION, ENCOURAGEMENT OR
COERCION BY THE EMPLOYEE OF A MINOR CHILD TO WITHHOLD INFORMATION FROM THE
MINOR CHILD'S PARENT.      AT A MINIMUM, THE GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY OR
INSTITUTION THAT MAINTAINED THE POLICY IS LIABLE TO THE MINOR CHILD'S
PARENT FOR $500,000 FOR EACH [OCCURRENCE] [INSTANCE] IN WHICH INFORMATION
WAS WITHHELD FROM THE MINOR CHILD'S PARENT.     THE RIGHT TO SUE BELONGS
INDIVIDUALLY TO EACH OF THE MINOR CHILD'S PARENTS, AND ONE PARENT MAY FILE
SUIT EVEN IF THE MINOR CHILD'S OTHER PARENT DOES NOT CONSENT TO THE
ACTION.   THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS FOR AN ACTION COMMENCED PURSUANT TO
THIS SUBSECTION IS FIVE YEARS AFTER THE CONDUCT CEASED AND THE MINOR
CHILD'S PARENT BECAME AWARE OF THE CONDUCT. [IF AN ACT THAT VIOLATES THIS
SECTION OCCURRED BEFORE THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS AMENDMENT TO THIS
SECTION AND THE PERSON CONTINUES TO VIOLATE THIS SECTION AFTER THE
EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS AMENDMENT TO THIS SECTION, EACH ACT THAT OCCURS
AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS AMENDMENT TO THIS SECTION CONSTITUTES A
SEPARATE VIOLATION FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION.]
J. A MINOR CHILD'S PARENT MAY DEMONSTRATE THAT A GOVERNMENTAL
ENTITY OR INSTITUTION MAINTAINED A POLICY OF FACILITATING, ENCOURAGING OR
COERCING A MINOR CHILD TO WITHHOLD INFORMATION FROM THE MINOR CHILD'S
PARENT THROUGH ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:
1. WRITTEN DOCUMENTS THAT ARE MAINTAINED BY THE GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY

OR COERCING A MINOR CHILD TO WITHHOLD INFORMATION FROM THE MINOR CHILD'S
PARENT. FAILING TO ABIDE BY A PARENT'S EXPRESS REQUEST OR HIDING THE ISSUE
FROM A PARENT CONSTITUTES A SEPARATE VIOLATION THAT TRIGGERS A NEW ACCRUAL
DATE, REGARDLESS OF WHEN THE PARENT FIRST SUSPECTED A SOCIAL TRANSITION
WAS OCCURRING.

THIS SECTION, THIS STATE, A POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF THIS STATE OR A
