Summary

The bill amends the End‑of‑Life Options for Terminally Ill Patients Act so that a death certificate can list the underlying disease and the use of medical aid in dying. It lets the attending physician sign the certificate and clarifies that such deaths are not classified as suicide or homicide. This change aims to improve record‑keeping and reduce unnecessary investigations.
