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

This bill waives the 15-day waiting period for terminally ill patients in New Jersey who, based on reasonable medical certainty, are not expected to survive 15 days. It directly affects qualified terminally ill patients seeking medical aid in dying under the existing 2019 law. The waiver applies only when a physician documents the medical basis for the patient's limited survival timeframe, while retaining the 48-hour waiting period after a written request. The law does not change other requirements like two oral requests or physician consultations about palliative care options.
