Description of the bill that Jeb Bush is still trying very hard to push through the Florida legislature:
"A bill that alters Florida law to create a general presumption for food and fluids for those who cannot speak for themselves would not face the separation of powers challenge. HB701 has been introduced by Representative Dennis Baxley. The identically worded SB 2128 has been introduced by Senator Stephen Wise. This bill has been drafted precisely to fit with controlling Florida Supreme Court opinions. It is carefully written to cover Terris circumstances. It would also bring protection in the uncounted number of unpublicized cases in which persons with disabilities similar to (and, in many cases, less severe than) those of Terri Schindler-Schiavo are routinely denied food and fluids in nursing homes, hospices, and hospitals."
