Provide for medical aid in dying
This bill establishes a legal framework for medical aid in dying in Montana, allowing qualified individuals with terminal illnesses to request prescription medication for self-administered end-of-life care. It requires patients to have decision-making capacity, a terminal condition expected to cause death within six months, and must undergo multiple consultations with health care providers who assess their request for coercion and discuss alternative treatments like hospice care. The legislation includes protections for health care providers who object to participating based on conscience, mandates reporting to state health authorities, and sets criminal penalties for tampering with requests or exerting undue influence on patients.
