TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Gov. Jeb Bush signed a bill Wednesday that requires physicians to tell Florida parents when a minor daughter seeks an abortion.

Bush signed a similar bill into law in 1999 but the courts blocked it, finding it violated the privacy provision in the Florida Constitution.

But voters last fall approved a constitutional amendment carving out an exception to the privacy guarantee so that the current abortion notice law would have a better chance of withstanding a court challenge.

The law applies to girls 17 and under who aren't married and don't already have children. Unless it's a medical emergency, doctors are required to notify a parent in person or by phone 48 hours before the abortion or, if that's not possible, by certified mail 72 hours in advance.

Girls can go to a judge to seek a waiver, and judges can grant a waiver based on a girl's level of maturity or because she has been a victim of parental abuse, or if telling the parents is not in her best interest.

The U.S. Supreme Court announced Monday it would review a parental notice law from New Hampshire to decide whether health exceptions are required in abortion laws requiring parental notification.

Most states have laws requiring either parental consent or notice. Only six have no such law.
