AZ SB1374

Adds Arizona Revised Statutes section 36-791 requiring the Department of Health Services to include specific provisions in any crisis standards of care plan or guidelines for allocating health care resources during emergencies.

Mandates that resource allocation decisions value all life equally and prohibit discrimination based on disability, age, race, religion, sex, veteran status, or income status.

Limits health care providers to considering only short-term survival when making allocation decisions and prohibits basing treatment decisions on quality of life judgments, long-term mortality, or resource intensity related to disability or age.

Requires patients or their health care decision makers to receive individualized assessments based on objective medical evidence, with reasonable modifications for persons with disabilities and the aged, and the right to appeal triage decisions.

Prohibits health care providers from requiring patients to sign do-not-resuscitate orders or make particular treatment decisions, and requires state protection and advocacy agency representatives and aging advocates on the state disaster medical advisory committee.
