PIN 23-09-ASC provides updates and reminders on the End of Life Option Act (EOLOA) and its changes following Senate Bill 380. The changes include reducing the timeframe between the two required requests for aid-in-dying drugs from 15 days to 48 hours, no longer requiring a single physician to be the sole recipient of the requests, removing the requirement for a final attestation form, and extending the sunset date to January 1, 2031. Nursing homes and healthcare facilities must be aware of these changes and ensure that residents are informed of their rights under the EOLOA. Facilities may choose not to participate in certain EOLOA activities for reasons of conscience, morality, or ethics, but residents retain the right to obtain and self-administer the aid-in-dying drug. Qualified residents must store the medication in a locked receptacle, either centrally with the facility or in their own room.
