Bill Summary
Relative to health care proxies. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 2 of Chapter 201D of the General Laws to provide that a health care proxy, which allows an individual to designate someone to make medical decisions on their behalf, shall remain in effect and not be revoked due to the principal's (the individual who created the proxy) death for up to 6 months after the principal's passing. This change ensures the designated proxy can continue to make decisions on the principal's behalf for a period of time following the principal's death.
