Bill > A1415

This bill repeals the "Medical Aid in Dying for the Terminally Ill Act," which allowed terminally ill patients to request medication that they could self-administer to end their lives. The bill removes the exception that exempted such actions from being considered suicide or assisted suicide under the law. Additionally, it reinstates the duty for healthcare providers to warn and protect potential victims, including informing law enforcement if a patient poses a threat of violence. The bill aims to eliminate the option of medical aid in dying for terminally ill patients in New Jersey.
