01:31 PM -- HB 16-1101
Representative Young, prime sponsor, presented House Bill 16-1101. The bill allows an attending physician or his or her designee to act as a patient's proxy decision-maker for health care treatment if:
- after reasonable effort, the physician cannot locate any interested person, including the patient's spouse, a parent, an adult child, a sibling, a grandchild, or any close friend of the patient, who is willing and able to act as proxy decision-maker;
- the physician has obtained an independent assessment of the patient's decision-making capacity from another health care provider; and
- the physician has consulted with, and obtained the agreement of, the medical ethics committee of the facility where the patient is receiving care.
The physician's authority to act as proxy decision-maker terminates if an interested person is appointed to act as the proxy decision-maker or a guardian is appointed for the patient. A physician or his or her designee who is acting in good faith as a proxy decision-maker is not subject to civil or criminal liability or regulatory sanction.
