Judge halts mandatory reporting of underage sex in Kansas
U S District Judge J Thomas Marten blocked Kansas officials from enforcing a state law that would require doctors nurses and other health care professionals to report underage sexual activity. The decision cites informational privacy rights for minors and notes the broad implications of breaching confidentiality. The ruling preserves the 1992 advisory opinion while allowing an immediate appeal by Attorney General Phill Kline who argues the state has a duty to protect children from abuse. The Center for Reproductive Rights argues compelled reporting can deter youths from seeking care or counseling.
