DO-NOT-RESUSCITATE ORDERS                                                S.B. 451: FLOOR ANALYSIS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Senate Bill 451 (as reported without amendment) Sponsor: Senator Dale L. Shugars

Committee: Health Policy and Senior Citizens

 

CONTENT

 

The bill would amend the Public Health Code to prohibit a health facility or agency from requiring the execution of a do-not-resuscitate order under the “Michigan Do-Not-Resuscitate Procedure Act” (proposed by Senate Bill 452) as a condition for admission or receipt of services.

 

Currently, under the Code, a local medical control authority must establish written protocols for the practice of life support agencies and licensed emergency medical services personnel within its region. The protocols are developed and adopted in accordance with procedures established by the Department of Public Health. The Code lists the protocols that must be adopted. The bill would add to the list protocols for complying with the proposed Michigan Do-Not-Resuscitate Procedure Act; and provides that a protocol established could not conflict with the proposed Act.

 

The bill is tie-barred to Senate Bill 452.
