The act defines an advance health care directive as a directive concerning medical orders for scope of treatment, a declaration as to medical treatment, a directive relating to cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or a medical durable power of attorney. The act also requires the department to promulgate rules to oversee the system.

The act allows a qualified provider to upload an individual’s advanced health care directive upon the request of the individual after the individual has consulted with the qualified provider in person or through telehealth. A qualified provider who uploads an advance health care directive to the system is not subject to criminal or civil liability.

The act requires the individual whose medical treatment is the subject of the advance health care directive, or the authorized surrogate decision-maker, to sign an electronic affidavit, prior to uploading the advance health care directive to the system, attesting that the advance health care directive uploaded to the system is appropriately executed, current, and accurate.
