Relates to health care proxy information on driver's licenses; repealer
This bill requires New York driver's license and identification card applications to include clear, conspicuous questions about health care proxies and living wills. Specifically, applicants must see prompts like "Have you completed a health care proxy? Check 'yes' or 'skip'." and space to list a health care agent's name. It also mandates space for questions about life-sustaining treatment preferences. The bill affects all applicants for driver's licenses or ID cards in New York, adding these health care directives to standard application forms without changing healthcare law or requiring new actions from applicants.
