ID H0436

Transfers administration of the health care directive registry from the Secretary of State to the Department of Health and Welfare.

Allows individuals to register health care directives or revocations online or by mail with the department, with a registration fee not to exceed $10.00 (no fee for revocations).

Registry operates as a web-based platform accessible 24/7 using unique identification file numbers and passwords, with digital reproductions of submitted documents and wallet-sized identification cards issued to registrants.

Restricts access to registry information to the directive maker, legal representatives, and authorized healthcare providers; prohibits commercial solicitation or fraudulent use of registry information.

Updates references in Idaho Code Section 74-106 to reflect that the Department of Health and Welfare (rather than Secretary of State) maintains the health care directive registry.
