Health - State Advisory Council on Quality Care at the End of Life - Renaming

This bill officially renames the State Advisory Council on Quality Care at the End of Life to the State Advisory Council on Serious Illness Care in Maryland. The change updates the council's title in state laws and modifies the form used for Medical Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment to reflect the new name. While the bill does not alter the council's existing duties, membership composition, or operational rules, it ensures all official references to the group use the updated terminology. The legislation takes effect on October 1, 2024, and applies to the state's health and aging departments as well as other relevant agencies.
