Summary

The bill creates a shield so that any health‑care licensee who follows the Death with Dignity Act cannot be investigated or disciplined for that compliance. It also revises how prescriptions are kept, shared and copied, and expands record‑keeping duties for hospitals and other health facilities, especially for procedures involving vaginal or anal penetration, adding longer retention periods and fines for violations. The changes affect pharmacists, prescribers, hospitals, health agencies and other licensed health professionals.
