AI Summary

This bill establishes psychiatric advance directives for mental health care. It allows competent persons 18 years of age or older to execute a psychiatric advance directive, which sets forth their specific instructions, preferences, and details regarding their mental health care. The directive becomes binding upon a determination that the person lacks capacity to make health care decisions due to mental illness or developmental disability. The bill also amends various sections of the existing health care proxy law to incorporate references to psychiatric advance directives and ensure they are treated similarly to health care proxies.
