Waives 15 day waiting period for medical aid in dying under certain circumstances.

This bill amends New Jersey's medical aid in dying law to waive the 15-day waiting period for terminally ill patients who, within reasonable medical certainty, are not expected to survive 15 days. It directly affects qualified terminally ill patients with rapidly declining health and their attending physicians, who must document the medical basis for the waiver. The bill retains the existing 48-hour waiting period between a patient's written request and prescription issuance. This change allows eligible patients to access medical aid in dying more quickly when their condition is rapidly deteriorating, without altering other procedural requirements.
