General Statutes Commission Advance Health Care Planning Documents.

Summary

The measure revises the General Statutes so that a health‑care power of attorney can be combined with a living will or a mental‑health advance instruction, and it streamlines the signing and witnessing requirements for those documents. It also clarifies definitions of key terms such as "health care," "life‑prolonging measures," and "mental health treatment." The changes aim to make it easier for North Carolinians to create comprehensive advance‑care plans.
