§ 13-22-102. Minors - consent for medical care and treatment for addiction to or use of drugs

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any physician licensed to practice in this state, upon consultation by a minor as a patient, with the consent of such minor patient, may examine, prescribe for, and treat such minor patient for addiction to or use of drugs without the consent of or notification to the parent, parents, or legal guardian of such minor patient, or to any other person having custody or decision-making responsibility with respect to the medical care of such minor patient. In any such case the physician or any person acting pursuant to the minor's direction shall incur no civil or criminal liability by reason of having made such examination or prescription or having rendered such treatment, but this immunity shall not apply to any negligent acts or omissions by the physician or any person acting pursuant to the physician's direction.
