The bill would give the state's governor 15 days to order a feeding tube to be reinserted in cases like Terri Schiavo's.

What does the "15 days" part mean? Does this mean that this bill is a reprieve that expires in 15 days, that it only applies to cases the governor exercises in the next 15 days, or something else?

I would assume that it means the governor has 15 days from the time a feeding tube has been ordered withdrawn to have it reinserted.

The law is covering more people than Terri. Since it states that a relative must be protesting the removal, I assume that the order to remove a feeding tube will likely come from a court. I guess they want to avoid a last minute reinsertion, keeping alive a person who has already been severely damaged by no nutrition.

It mean Jeb has 15 days, from the time the law takes effect, to order the stay.

I think it means in a case like this where the victim meets the requirement of the law, the Gov has 15 days from the time the feeding tube is removed to order it replaced. If he's waited more than 15 days, he can no longer order it reinserted.
