Med consent, natural death, terms
HEALTH – Amends and repeals existing law to update terminology in the Medical Consent and Natural Death Act.

RS30424 / H0223

This bill revises Chapter 45, title 39 updating medical terminology and clarifying existing statute. The changes will not impact current policy or patient protections in the statute; however, it will provide clarity to providers and the public who utilize advanced care plans, living wills, and durable power for health care.

This legislation causes no additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government, nor does it cause an increase or decrease in revenue for state or local government therefore the legislation has no fiscal impact.
