Senators Coram and Todd, bill sponsors,
presented House Bill 19-1044. The bill allows an adult, 18 years
of age or older, to establish a behavioral health order for scope of treatment
(behavioral health orders) that communicates his or her behavioral health
history, decisions, and preferences in the event that he or she later lacks
decisional capacity to provide informed consent to, withdrawal from, or
refuse behavioral health treatment. The bill aligns the new process for
behavioral health orders with current advance medical orders for scope
of treatment.
The bill lists the requirements for behavioral
health orders; details the duties and immunities for medical personnel
treating an adult with a behavioral health order; details how a behavioral
health order form may be executed, amended, or revoked; and specifies that
executing or failing to execute a behavioral health order does not effect
any health insurance contract, life insurance contract, or annuity.
