What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill adds do-not-resuscitate necklaces or pendants that meet certain requirements to the types of standardized do-not-resuscitate jewelry that a person may wear to signify that the person is a qualified patient who has obtained a do-not-resuscitate order from a physician and that the order has not been revoked.
Under current law, the only type of do-not-resuscitate jewelry allowed for qualifying patients is a do-not-resuscitate bracelet meeting certain criteria.

The bill also requires the Department of Health Services to establish rules for a uniform standard for the size, color, and design of all do-not-resuscitate necklaces and pendants, but as under current law for do-not-resuscitate bracelets, DHS may also approve a do-not-resuscitate necklace or pendant developed and distributed by a commercial vendor if certain requirements are met.
Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime, the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a report.
