Under the Terminal Patients’ Right to Know End- of-Life Options Act, terminally ill patients will get "information about hospice care, refusal or withdrawing of life-prolonging treatments, voluntary stopping eating and drinking, palliative care and palliative sedation will be discussed with the patient," when the patient requests it, according a press release by Compassion & Choices, a sponsor of the measure.
If doctors don't want to comply with the patient's choice, they have to refer the patient to another provider, according to the release.
