               prescription drugs or devices for minors.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``State's and Parental Rights 
Improvement Act of 2000''.

SEC. 2. AUTHORIZATION FOR STATES TO REQUIRE PARENTAL CONSENT OR 
              NOTIFICATION FOR PURPOSE OF PURCHASE OF PRESCRIPTION

    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a State shall not be 
considered to have violated any term or condition of any Federal health

a prescription drug or device (or any class of drugs or devices 
specified by the State) to a minor.
