Advance health care directives-dementia.

This Wyoming bill (HB 6) expands the definition of "advance health care directive" to explicitly include "dementia directives." It allows individuals diagnosed with dementia to create specific instructions for healthcare decisions at each stage of their disease progression, complementing existing advance directives. The bill directly affects people with dementia and their families by providing a legal framework for planning care as cognitive decline advances. The changes take effect July 1, 2025.
