NRS
442.255 Notice to custodial parent or guardian; request for
authorization for abortion; rules of civil procedure inapplicable.
1. Unless in the judgment of the attending
physician an abortion is immediately necessary to preserve the patient’s life
or health or an abortion is authorized pursuant to subsection 2 or NRS 442.2555, a physician shall not
knowingly perform or induce an abortion upon an unmarried and unemancipated
woman who is under the age of 18 years unless a custodial parent or guardian of
the woman is personally notified before the abortion. If the custodial parent or
guardian cannot be so notified after a reasonable effort, the physician shall
delay performing the abortion until the physician has notified the parent or
guardian by certified mail at the last known address of the parent or guardian.
2. An unmarried or unemancipated woman who
is under the age of 18 years may request a district court to issue an order
authorizing an abortion. If so requested, the court shall interview the woman
at the earliest practicable time, which must be not more than 2 judicial days
after the request is made. If the court determines, from any information
provided by the woman and any other evidence that the court may require, that:
(a) She is mature enough to make an intelligent
and informed decision concerning the abortion;
(b) She is financially independent or is
emancipated; or
(c) The notice required by subsection 1 would be
detrimental to her best interests,
Ê the court
shall issue an order within 1 judicial day after the interview authorizing a
physician to perform the abortion in accordance with the provisions of NRS 442.240 to 442.270, inclusive.
3. If the court does not find sufficient
grounds to authorize a physician to perform the abortion, it shall enter an
order to that effect within 1 judicial day after the interview. If the court
does not enter an order either authorizing or denying the performance of the
abortion within 1 judicial day after the interview, authorization shall be
deemed to have been granted.
4. The court shall take the necessary
steps to ensure that the interview and any other proceedings held pursuant to
this subsection or NRS 442.2555 are
confidential. The rules of civil procedure do not apply to any action taken
pursuant to this subsection.
