Today's Hearing on S.B. 303 to Amend Texas Futility Law

S.B. 303 passed the Texas Senate on April 18.  It was referred to the House Public Health Committee on April 22.  Today, that committee is holding its first hearing on the bill.  The Committee is chaired by Lois Kolkhorst.  



While S.B. 303 does not fix all the due process deficiencies with Texas Health & Safety Code 166.046, it does offer some material improvements.  Hopefully, the bill will make it to the House floor for a vote.  As I learned yesterday, even some cheesecake is better than none.
