Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Provider conscience rules and patient transfers

No doctor, nurse, pharmacist, or other provider has to take part in aid-in-dying. If a provider will not participate, they must arrange transfer of care and, if you ask, send your records to the new provider. A private facility can ban prescribing, dispensing, ordering, or self‑administration on its site based on sincere religious or moral beliefs and must tell you this before admission. If you ask to use the medication, the facility must promptly transfer you to a reasonably accessible willing facility. Employees and contractors must get written notice of any ban. Providers who act in reasonable good faith under this law are protected from civil or professional discipline for discussing options, making or refusing referrals, being present, or not stopping self‑administration or resuscitation.

Protections for patient insurance and records

The death certificate lists the terminal illness as the cause of death, not the medication. A request under this law is not suicide or a crime. Life insurance must still pay, and policies or rates cannot depend on using this law. Malpractice insurance for providers cannot be priced or sold based on participation. If you ask for this medication, your insurer cannot deny other covered care or tell your doctor about availability unless you ask. Payer messages also cannot say the medication is not covered.

Safety, drug disposal, and oversight

After a qualified person dies, the prescriber and the attending person must return any unused medication to the nearest qualified site or dispose of it as the health commissioner directs. The commissioner can set disposal rules, and federal drug disposal sites must accept the medicine. The health commissioner reviews records every year, sets reporting rules, and posts an annual report. Records are confidential but may be shared for discipline, public health, or law enforcement when allowed by law. Breaking the law can lead to criminal charges and professional discipline, including for coercion, forgery, or homicide.
