HB 2072 seeks to address legal accountability related to the withholding or withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment from patients. It introduces criminal penalties, making it a first-degree felony to withdraw or withhold such treatment against the patient’s directive or the decision of their legally authorized representative. The bill also provides exceptions to standard statute limitations for filing claims related to these incidents and ensures that civil liability protections do not apply when life-sustaining treatment is improperly withheld or withdrawn.
