DE SB93

Updates terminology and statutory references across multiple Delaware Code titles to align with the Delaware Uniform Health-Care Decisions Act of 2023 (DUHCDA 2023), which takes effect September 30, 2025

Replaces various terms like "durable power of attorney for health-care decisions" with citations to the standardized "advance health-care directive" definition under DUHCDA 2023

Changes the term "surrogate" to "default surrogate" throughout affected statutes to match new definitions established in DUHCDA 2023

Clarifies when decision-making authority passes to third parties for nursing home residents, including references to federal law standards for representative payees under the Social Security Act

Corrects technical errors such as changing "power of attorney" to "agent" when referring to the person acting rather than the document, and fixes "advanced" to "advance" in "advance care directive"
