Overview
The act governs a registry for POLST forms — the portable medical orders that record a patient's treatment decisions regarding life-sustaining care. It establishes that registry under a designated state department, grants the department rulemaking authority over how the registry operates, and creates a dedicated fund to support it. It also restricts access to and disclosure of registry information as confidential, and provides immunity from liability for those acting in connection with it.
