AI Summary
This bill establishes an "End-of-Life Option" in Minnesota, which allows mentally capable adults with a terminal disease and a prognosis of 6 months or less to live to request a prescription for medication to bring about their peaceful death. The bill outlines the requirements and responsibilities for the attending provider, consulting provider, and health care facilities, as well as immunities for those acting in good faith, reporting requirements, and penalties for those who intentionally coerce or mislead individuals. The bill also specifies that the act of self-administering the medication does not constitute suicide or assisted suicide, and prevents insurers from denying or altering benefits based on the availability of this option.
