Existing law requires the Aging and Disability Services Division of the Department of Health and Human Services to provide certain services to aging persons and persons with disabilities. (Chapters 427A and 435 of NRS) Section 60 of this bill requires the Department, through the Division, to conduct a program to educate and inform residents of this State concerning planning for long-term care. Existing law sets forth provisions governing durable powers of attorney for health care decisions. (NRS 162A.700-162A.870) Under existing law, a person may create an advance health-care directive, which existing law defines as a power of attorney for health care, by using a form set forth in the Uniform Health-Care Decisions Act. (NRS 162A.715, 162A.855) Existing law also contains definitions from the Uniform Health-Care Decisions Act of “guardian,” “health care” and “nursing home.” Section 80.5 of this bill requests that the Guardianship Commission created by the Nevada Supreme Court: (1) examine the remaining provisions of the Uniform Act and the implementation of the Act in other jurisdictions; and (2) make recommendations to the Joint Interim Standing Committee on Health and Human Services concerning the potential enactment of the Uniform Act in this State.
