Maddy summaryThis bill would require insurance companies operating in the state to provide written details of their liability coverage limits within 60 days of receiving a request from a personal injury claimant or their attorney following a motor vehicle accident. The disclosure is intended to be used solely for resolving the specific claim or any related lawsuit. If an insurer fails to provide this information, they could face a $500 penalty along with payment for the claimant's legal fees and expenses. Although the bill was introduced, it was ultimately not passed by the legislature.

Maddy summaryThis bill would require doctors who perform abortions to send written reports to their medical facility detailing the date, location, patient's age and residence, method used, gestational age, and any related prescriptions. The medical facilities would then be responsible for compiling this data and submitting an annual report to the state Department of Health and Human Services. The collected information would be used to create statistical tables on maternal health and abortion procedures, which the department would present to the state legislature each year.
Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a legal framework for medical assistance in dying, allowing qualified adults with terminal illnesses to request prescriptions for medications they can self-administer to end their lives peacefully. To access this option, an individual must be at least 18 years old, have a terminal condition expected to cause death within six months, possess the mental capacity to understand the decision, and voluntarily make the request without coercion. The process requires two independent medical evaluations where providers confirm the patient's diagnosis, capacity, and understanding of all available treatment alternatives, including hospice and palliative care. Additionally, the law mandates that the patient sign a formal request form and allows them to withdraw their request or change their mind at any time.
