Bill > HB2033

This bill amends Title 20 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to provide for "compassionate assisted dignified death." The key provisions include: defining eligibility requirements for a "qualified patient" to receive "end-of-life medication" to end their life, outlining the process for requesting and obtaining such medication, imposing waiting periods and oversight measures, establishing responsibilities and legal protections for healthcare providers, and imposing penalties for certain prohibited actions. The bill aims to allow terminally ill, capable, and consenting patients the option to end their lives in a dignified manner.
