    2  
    3         Delete lines 130 - 145
    4  and insert:
    5  medical emergency or risk to the pregnant patient’s health
    6  exists and there is insufficient time for the attending
    7  physician to comply with the consent requirement. If a medical
    8  emergency or risk to the pregnant patient’s health exists, the
    9  physician must make reasonable attempts, whenever possible, and
   10  without endangering the minor, to contact the parent or legal
   11  guardian of the minor, and may proceed with termination of the
   12  pregnancy of the minor, but must document reasons for the
   13  medical necessity in the minor patient’s medical records. The
   14  physician shall inform the parent or legal guardian, in person
   15  or by telephone, within 24 hours after the termination of the
   16  pregnancy of the minor, including details of the medical
   17  emergency or risk to the pregnant patient’s health which
   18  necessitated the termination of the pregnancy without the
   19  parent’s or legal guardian’s consent.
