The bill directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to seek an agreement with the National Academies to study a national system for securely storing and retrieving last wish documents. These documents may include advance directives, organ donor registrations, healthcare proxies, powers of attorney, and living wills. The system would be confidential, available to an authorized agent, and free to individuals. The study would report its status within two years and its results within four years after the bill becomes law.
The bill calls for a study, not the creation of a document storage system. It does not change how people currently prepare or store these documents.
The proposed system would be free to individuals. No publicly available information on the cost of the study or who would pay for it.
