The proposed bill, if enacted, would update current statutes by appropriating $500,000 from the state General Fund for the fiscal year 2026 to the Department of Health Services (DHS) specifically for the operation of the health care directives registry. It would also establish new reporting requirements for DHS, mandating that they submit two reports by December 31, 2025, and June 30, 2026, to the Governor, Speaker of the House, and President of the Senate. These reports would include detailed information about the registry's operations, user statistics, and growth metrics.

Additionally, the bill would require DHS to provide a copy of these reports to the Secretary of State and would include a provision for the repeal of these reporting requirements after December 31, 2026. The bill's language introduces new sections detailing the specific information to be included in the reports, such as the number of individual accounts, document uploads, and active users, while maintaining the existing framework of the health care directives registry as established in current law.
