SB 403 (Blakespear, D-Encinitas) Details
Passed the Senate on June 4. Pending an Assembly policy committee assignment.
SB 403 would make the End of Life Option Act permanent by removing its sunset date. It would also require the California Department of Public Health to include in its annual report additional data on act usage based on input received from stakeholders. CHA will closely monitor the bill to ensure it does not adversely affect the protections currently available to hospitals.
