Summary

The bill creates a legal presumption that keeping a minor alive is in the child's best interest. It bars health‑care providers from issuing do‑not‑resuscitate orders, withholding, or withdrawing treatment without written and oral consent from each parent or guardian, and it prevents providers from blocking a parent‑requested transfer of care. The measure also says courts cannot order removal of life‑sustaining treatment for a minor.
