SYNOPSIS
Section 2527 of Title 16, which will become effective on September 30, 2025, originates from Section 27 of the
Uniform Law Commission’s Uniform Health-Care Decisions Act. The Uniform Law Commission found that the word
“other” was added in error to the final Uniform Health-Care Decisions Act. This Act adopts this correction by deleting the
word “other” from § 2527 of Title 16.
This Act takes effect on September 30, 2025, to coincide with the effective date of § 2527 of Title 16.
