Relative to health care proxies. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 2 of Chapter 201D of the General Laws by adding a provision that a health care proxy shall remain in effect and not be revoked due to the death of the principal until 6 months after the principal has deceased. This ensures that the proxy can continue to make healthcare decisions on behalf of the deceased principal for a period of time after their passing.
