HRS §577A-3
When hospitals and clinics can tell parents about a minor's care
This section lets doctors and hospitals decide whether to tell a minor's parent, guardian, or custodian about the minor's medical care. They must talk with the minor first. If the minor is not pregnant or has no sexually transmitted infection, they can also share the application for diagnosis.
