Ohio Sup.R. 8.52
Notifying Physicians of Affidavits Alleging Abuse Pursuant to R.C. 2919.12
(A) Filing affidavits--procedure
(1) Pursuant to R.C. 2919.12(B)(1)(b), a minor may have notice of an intended abortion
given to a specified adult instead of one of her parents, guardian, or custodian. Two
affidavits shall be filed with the clerk of the juvenile court by anyone seeking to
invoke the notice provisions of the law. The first affidavit is executed by the minor
and should be on “Form 24- A.” The second affidavit is executed by the specified
adult and should be on “ Form 24-B.” Anyone receiving these forms also shall be
given the accompanying instruction sheet.
(2) Upon the filing of both affidavits and upon the request of the minor, her attorney,
or the person who will perform the abortion, the clerk of the juvenile court shall
issue a notice on “Form 24-C” verifying that the affidavits have been filed with the
court.
(B) Confidentiality
(1) All affidavits filed and notices issued pursuant to this rule shall be placed under
seal in a safe or other secure place where access is limited to essential juvenile court
personnel.
(2) Persons becoming aware of the contents of any affidavits prepared pursuant to this
rule or R.C. 2919.12 are exempt from reporting such contents under R.C. 2151.421.
Any reporting by court personnel would breach the duty of confidentiality and is
prohibited by R.C. 102.03.
