Parental Rights
Minors' rights are broad and begin young in Oregon.
Minors in the state of Oregon can begin making medical decisions at the age of 15, without parental consent. This includes immunization decisions.Â
Minors are given rights to make mental health decisions beginning at the age of 14. This includes seeing a psychologist on their own and requesting hormone treatment.
