Uniform Law Commission’s Uniform Health-Care Decisions Act/Updates

What it does

The legislature's own summary of the bill, or its official long title.

Section 2527 of Title 16, which will become effective on September 30, 2025, originates from Section 27 of the Uniform Law Commission’s Uniform Health-Care Decisions Act. The Uniform Law Commission found that the word “other” was added in error to the final Uniform Health-Care Decisions Act. This Act adopts this correction by deleting the word “other” from § 2527 of Title 16. This Act takes effect on September 30, 2025, to coincide with the effective date of § 2527 of Title 16.
