Bill Summary

For legislation to authorize electronic health care proxies. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill aims to authorize the use of electronic health care proxies in Massachusetts. It amends the existing Chapter 201D of the General Laws to include a new definition of "Transportable", which means that the activation or deactivation of a health care proxy will be part of the patient's electronic medical records, allowing subsequent healthcare providers to be aware of the proxy's authority without needing to activate or deactivate it themselves. This change is intended to streamline the process of using a health care proxy and ensure its continuity across different healthcare settings.
