Existing law provides a form that an individual may use or modify to create an advance health care directive. The statutory form includes a space to designate an agent to make health care decisions, as well as optional spaces to designate a first alternate agent and 2nd alternate agent. Existing law defines "health care decision," as specified. Existing law authorizes an individual to provide an "individual health care instruction" as the individual's authorized written or oral direction regarding a health care decision for the individual. This bill would clarify that a "health care decision" does not include consent by a patient's agent, conservator, or surrogate to convulsive treatment, psychosurgery, sterilization, or abortion. The bill would confirm that a voluntary standalone psychiatric advance directive, as defined, may still be executed.
