AI Summary
This bill establishes an "End-of-Life Options Act" that allows terminally ill adults with a prognosis of six months or less to live to request and receive a prescription for medical aid-in-dying medication, provided they meet certain requirements. The bill sets out detailed procedures for making such a request, including requirements for informed consent, mental capacity assessments, and oversight by attending and consulting healthcare providers. It also provides protections for healthcare providers who participate in good faith, and imposes criminal penalties for certain actions like coercing a terminally ill adult to request the medication.
