Health Laws Safely Surrendered Baby Law Consent to Care The SSB law (California Health and Safety Code, section 1255.7) provides a safe alternative for the surrender of a newborn baby in specified circumstances. Under the SSB law, a parent or person with lawful custody can safely surrender a baby confidentially, and without fear of prosecution, within 72 hours of birth. Consent to Care A minor of any age can receive some health care without her parents' permission, as long as she seems capable of giving an informed consent. This includes family planning and sexual assault services, abortion and prenatal care. Minors 12 years or older may provide their own consent to services related to sexual assault, substance abuse treatment, mental health treatment, and sexually transmitted diseases. Parents are not responsible for payment if the minor receives services on her own under Medi- Cal's Sensitive Services

California Statutory Rape Laws What is the legal age of consent to have sexual intercourse in California? 18 years old. This means sexual contact with a minor under the age of 18 is illegal in the state of California even if the minor says it is consensual. What is the California statutory rape law? The California statutory rape law is titled "Unlawful Sexual Intercourse" Section 261.5 California Penal code. Is it legal for two minors to have sexual intercourse? No. Sexual contact while under the age of 18 is not legal. Depending on the age of the parties involved and whether or not there are repeat violations involved, it would either go to juvenile court or, under certain situations a juvenile court judge may recommend the case be moved to adult court. If the violation is under 261.5, it is a misdemeanor offense.
