HEALTH CARE: Ending of a vulnerable adult's life in a humane and dignified manner.

Sponsors:

Sen. Tate, Reginald , Rep. Wirgau, Tim

Summary:

Allows an adult who is capable,

is a resident of Tennessee, and has been determined by an attending physician and a consulting physician to be suffering from a terminal disease, and who has voluntarily expressed the wish to die, may make a written request for medication for the purpose of ending the adult’s life in a hum

ane and dignified manner. Permits only Tennessee residents who have possession of a Tennessee driver license, registration to vote in Tennessee, evidence that the person owns or leases property in Tennessee, and any other evidence deemed sufficient by the department of healt

h to be eligible for the medication. A valid request for medication must be signed and dated on a form designed in pursuant to this bill by the patient and witnessed by at least two (2) individuals who, in the presence of the patient, attest that to the best of their knowledge and belief

the patient is capable, acting voluntarily, and is not being coerced to sign the request. One (1) of the witnesses must be a person who is not a relative of the patient by blood, marriage, or adoption; or a person who at the time the request is signed would be entitled to any portion of the estate of

the qualified patient upon death under any will. The patient’s attending physician at the time the request is signed cannot be a witness. If the patient is a patient in a long-term care facility at the time the written request is made, one (1) of the witnesses must be an individual designated by the

facility. The department of health must promulgate rules, which must be in accordance with the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, governing the qualifications of an individual designated as a witness by a long-term care facility. In order for a qualified patient to receive a prescription for medi

cation to end the patient’s life in a humane and dignified manner, a qualified patient must make an initial oral request to the patient’s attending physician, make a written request to the patient’s attending physician, and must make a second oral request to the patient’s attending physician

no less than fifteen (15) days after making the initial oral request. Before a patient is qualified for this procedure, a consulting physician must examine the patient and the patient’s relevant medical records. The consulting physician shall confirm, in writing, the attending physician’s diagnosis that

the patient is suffering from a terminal disease and verify that the patient is capable, is acting voluntarily, and has made an informed decision. If, in the opinion of the attending physician or the consulting physician, a patient may be suffering from a psychiatric or psychological disorder or depr

ession causing impaired judgment, either physician must refer the patient for counseling. Prohibits medication to end a patient’s life in a humane and dignified manner to be prescribed until the person performing the counseling determines that the patient is not suffering from a psyc

hiatric or psychological disorder or depression causing impaired judgment. Requires the attending physician to recommend that the patient notify the next of kin of the patient’s request for medication; and the physician, if a patient who declines or is unable to notify next of kin, cannot

deny the patient’s request for that reason. In the patient's medical record, it must be documented all oral requests by the patient for medication to end the patient’s life, all written requests by a patient for medication to end the patient’s life, the attending and consulting physician’s diagnosis,

prognosis, and determination that the patient is capable of making an informed decision, and the attending physician’s offer to the patient to rescind the patient’s request at the time of the patient’s second oral request. Prohibits a physician or any other person to end a patient’s life by

lethal injection, mercy killing, or active euthanasia; and states no person shall be subject to civil or criminal liability or professional disciplinary action. Prohibits a healthcare provider to participate in the provision to a qualified patient of medication to end the patient’s life in a humane and

dignified manner. If a healthcare provider is unable or unwilling to carry out a patient’s request and the patient transfers the patient’s care to a new healthcare provider, the prior healthcare provider must transfer copy of the patient’s relevant medical records to the new healthcare provi

der. Provides guidelines for healthcare providers who want to sanction another healthcare provider under 68-11-2118(e)(1) of this bill. Classifies that a person who, without authorization of the patient, willfully alters or forges a request for medication, or conceals or destroys a rescission

of that request with the intent or effect of causing the patient’s death, commits a Class A felony. A person who coerces or exerts undue influence on a patient to request medication for the purpose of ending the patient’s life, or to destroy a rescission of a request, commits a Clas

s A felony. The form to "Request Medication to End My Life in a Humane and Dignifed Manner" is provided in 68-11-2121 of the bill. Amends language to exempt as an offense to assisted suicide, providing medication to a qualified patient for the purpose of ending the patient’s

life in a humane and dignified manner.
