Lawsuit challenges Washington state's Initiative 2081, claiming it jeopardizes students' access to sensitive medical services.
Lawsuit seeks to block a new Washington state parental rights law, known as Initiative 2081, set to take effect next month. Critics describe the law as a "forced outing" measure, which requires schools to notify parents in advance of medical services offered to their child, except in emergencies, and grants parents the right to review their child's medical and counseling records. The lawsuit claims the measure could jeopardize students seeking birth control, referrals for reproductive services, or counseling related to their gender identity or sexual orientation.
