Changes to the requirements for do not resusitate orders.

Summary

The bill creates two distinct do‑not‑resuscitate categories: DNR‑CCA, which allows all treatments up to the moment of cardiac arrest but bans CPR, and DNR‑CC, which limits all life‑prolonging interventions to focus on comfort. It obligates health‑care facilities to update their policies and order forms to include these options and to obtain informed consent from patients or their surrogates. The goal is to give patients clearer, more personalized end‑of‑life choices.
