Advance directives - health care providers - electronic advance health care directive system - appropriation. The act requires the department of public health and environment (department) to contract with one or more health information organization networks for the creation, administration, and maintenance of a statewide electronic system (system) that allows qualified providers to upload and access advance health care directives. The act defines an advance health care directive as a directive concerning medical orders for scope of treatment, a declaration as to medical treatment, a directive relating to cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or a medical durable power of attorney. The act also requires the department to promulgate rules to oversee the system. The act allows a qualified provider to upload an individual's advanced health care directive upon the request of the individual after the individual has consulted with the qualified provider in person or through telehealth. A qualified provider who uploads an advance health care directive to the system is not subject to criminal or civil liability. The act requires the individual whose medical treatment is the subject of the advance health care directive, or the authorized surrogate decision-maker, to sign an electronic affidavit, prior to uploading the advance health care directive to the system, attesting that the advance health care directive uploaded to the system is appropriately executed, current, and accurate. The act does not allow for any civil or criminal liability or regulatory sanctions for any emergency personnel, health care provider, health care facility, or any other person that complies with a legally executed advance medical directive that is accessed from the system. For the 2019-20 state fiscal year, the act appropriates $993,147 from the general fund to the department of public health and environment for personal services related to health statistics and vital records, operating expenses, and for the purchase of information technology services.
