1 1 Amend House File 693, as amended, passed, and
1 2 reprinted by the House, as follows:
1 3 #1. Page 3, line 12, by inserting after the word
1 4 "later." the following: "A physician and surgeon,
1 5 osteopath, osteopathic physician and surgeon, dentist,
1 6 podiatric physician, optometrist, pharmacist,
1 7 chiropractor, or nurse licensed under chapter 147, or
1 8 a hospital licensed under chapter 135B shall not
1 9 assert this paragraph as a defense unless they produce
1 10 an informed consent waiver which was signed by the
1 11 patient's parent or legal guardian prior to the
1 12 treatment in question, which states:
1 13 I am aware that any claim for damages arising from
1 14 any injury or the death of my child due to the
1 15 treatment my child is about to receive must be filed
1 16 no later than my child's tenth birthday, as my child
1 17 will be under the age of eight when the treatment is
1 18 performed. I understand that this means that my
1 19 family will forever forfeit any right to recover
1 20 damages arising from this treatment unless a claim is
1 21 filed prior to the child's tenth birthday, even if
1 22 such treatment results in injuries that are not
1 23 discovered until after the child's tenth birthday."
