Rep. Baxley originally filed it Feb 4th. I'm surprised we haven't heard about it before. It looks like we need to concentrate on the House of Representatives.

GENERAL BILL by Baxley (CO-SPONSORS) Brown; Cannon; Flores; Lopez-Cantera; Murzin; Traviesa

Withholding or Withdrawal of Nutrition or Hydration from Incompetent Persons: Declares that an incompetent person is presumed to have directed health care providers to provide the necessary nutrition and hydration to sustain life; prohibits a court, proxy, or surrogate from withholding or withdrawing nutrition or hydration except under specified circumstances; provides that the presumption to provide nutrition and hydration is inapplicable under certain circumstances; conforms provisions to changes made by the act; declares that the act supersedes existing court orders otherwise applicable on or after the effective date of the act.
