AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 201D of the Massachusetts General Laws to prohibit certain individuals from being named as health care agents under a health care proxy. Specifically, it bars individuals who are under investigation or have been convicted of certain offenses, such as assault and battery or neglect, that resulted in serious bodily injury to the principal who has become incapacitated. The bill also allows for the removal of a health care agent if it is found that the agent is wholly or partly responsible for the incapacity of the principal.
