AB 3211 California Assembly · 2017-2018 Regular Session

Advance health care directives.

Summary

The Health Care Decisions Law, among other things, establishes the requirements for executing a written advance health care directive that is legally sufficient to direct health care decisions. The law provides a form that may be used or modified to create an advance health care directive, and expressly does not require the use of the form. This bill would revise and recast the portion of the form relating to a person's donation of his or her organs, tissues, and parts, as specified, and would include a provision relating to authorizing an agent to consent to any temporary medical procedure if necessary for purposes of that donation.
