HB1099 allows residents of treatment facilities (such as nursing homes or mental health facilities) to officially designate a caregiver who can receive medical and personal information about them, similar to how people can name healthcare proxies. This gives residents more control over who their family members and caregivers are, even if those people aren't their legal guardians or next of kin.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
