Just as in the 2007, 2009, and 2011 Texas legislative sessions, the 2013 session is sure to see a number of bills directed at amending section 166.046 of the Texas Advance Directives Act.
The first of these bills (S.B. 303) was introduced yesterday by Senator Robert Deuell. Deuell is a Republican and a physician. In past sessions, his bills were among the best. The instant bill will preserve the functionality of the 166.046 dispute resolution provision but improve its fairness. For example, the bill would:
- Increase the notice period for the HEC meeting from 48 hours to one week.
- Increase the waiting period between the HEC decision and implementation (the transfer period) from 10 to 14 days.
