AN ACT ALLOWING TERMINALLY ILL PATIENTS TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT END-OF-LIFE CARE.

HB 5454 allows terminally ill patients in the state to make decisions about their end-of-life care without being forced to endure prolonged, painful deaths. The bill amends existing statutes to give these patients greater autonomy over their care choices during their final illness. Key provisions ensure patients can select options that prioritize comfort and avoid unnecessary suffering, rather than requiring treatment that extends dying processes. This directly affects terminally ill patients seeking control over their final care, with no specific medical procedures or timelines defined in the bill text.
