                               2011-2012 Regular Sessions
 
                   IN ASSEMBLY
 
                                      June 15, 2011
                                       ___________
 
        Introduced by M. of A. LAVINE -- read once and referred to the Committee
          on Health
 
        AN  ACT  to amend the public health law, in relation to the authority of
          an agent to act outside a hospital setting to make  certain  decisions
          regarding  the  transport  of  the  principal  to a particular medical

          setting when such principal is unconscious or unresponsive
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1. Subdivision 4 of section 2981 of the public health law, as
     2  added by chapter 752 of the laws of 1990, is amended to read as follows:
     3    4. Commencement of agent's  authority.  The  agent's  authority  shall
     4  commence  upon  a  determination,  made  pursuant  to subdivision one of
     5  section two thousand nine hundred eighty-three of this article, that the
     6  principal lacks capacity to make health care decisions or if the princi-
     7  pal is not found within a hospital, mental hygiene facility or  residen-
     8  tial  health  care  facility  and  is  in an unconscious or unresponsive
     9  state.

    10    § 2.  Paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of section  2983  of  the  public
    11  health  law,  as added by chapter 752 of the laws of 1990, is amended to
    12  read as follows:
    13    (a) A determination that a principal lacks  capacity  to  make  health
    14  care  decisions shall be made by the attending physician to a reasonable
    15  degree of medical certainty. The determination shall be made in  writing
    16  and shall contain such attending physician's opinion regarding the cause
    17  and nature of the principal's incapacity as well as its extent and prob-
    18  able  duration.  The  determination  shall  be included in the patient's
    19  medical record. For a decision to withdraw or  withhold  life-sustaining
    20  treatment,  the  attending  physician who makes the determination that a
    21  principal lacks capacity to make health care decisions must consult with

    22  another physician to confirm such determination. Such consultation shall
    23  also be included within the patient's medical record.  No  determination

                                                                   LBD11239-03-1

        A. 8389                             2
 
     1  by  the physician shall be required where the principal is found outside
     2  of a hospital, mental hygiene facility or residential health care facil-
     3  ity and the principal is unconscious or unresponsive as there shall be a
     4  presumption  of  incapacity  for  the  limited purpose of empowering the
     5  health care agent to make health care decisions in regard to the  choice

     6  of  which  hospital, mental hygiene facility, or residential health care
     7  provider where the principal should be transported.
     8    § 3. This act shall take effect on the one hundred twentieth day after
     9  it shall have become a law. Effective immediately, the addition,  amend-
    10  ment  and/or repeal of any rules or regulations necessary for the imple-
    11  mentation of this act on its effective date are authorized to be made on
    12  or before such effective date.
