The bill H. 4388 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding a new section, 44-6-75, which mandates the Department of Health and Human Services to create a standard revocable living will form. This form will be made available to Medicaid applicants as part of the application process, allowing them the opportunity to execute a living will voluntarily.

The proposed legislation emphasizes the importance of providing Medicaid applicants with the option to establish a revocable living will, thereby enhancing their ability to make decisions regarding their healthcare in advance. The bill is set to take effect upon receiving approval from the Governor.
