This bill requires hospitals and medical providers to notify parents and get their written agreement before issuing a "do not resuscitate" (DNR) order for patients under 18 years old or those with intellectual disabilities. Currently, such orders can be issued without explicit parental consent in certain circumstances, so this bill adds a new requirement for parental involvement in these life-and-death medical decisions.
