What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill authorizes the Department of Health Services to develop and

implement a registry for power of attorney for health care instruments, declarations

to physicians, do-not-resuscitate orders, authorizations for final disposition, and

any other advance directives included by DHS. If DHS develops a registry, DHS may

promulgate rules to implement the registry.

Also, if a registry is established, DHS may determine whether to incorporate

advance directives previously filed with the county registers in probate. If DHS

decides to incorporate these advance directives, DHS must request the documents

from the registers in probate and the registers in probate must transfer a copy of the

documents to DHS. If DHS requests copies of any previously filed advance

directives, the registers in probate may not accept for filing new advance directives.
