Plain-language change summary

The updated version of HB 2419 includes a specific requirement for the University of Washington to consult with the Department of Health and receive approval from the Washington State Institutional Review Board before conducting its study on the barriers to using the Washington death with dignity act. Additionally, the report deadline has been moved from December 1, 2020, to June 30, 2021, and the expiration date of the new section has been extended from July 1, 2021, to January 1, 2022. These changes are significant as they may enhance oversight and ensure thoroughness in the study, while also providing more time for researchers to gather and analyze data effectively.
