10:49 AM -- Recognition of Substitute Decision-making Documents Act
Commissioner Kent provided a general description of the proposed legislation. There is a growing need for the recognition of powers of attorney and other substitute decision-making documents across state lines and some international jurisdictions in order to to increase the portability and usefulness of such documents -- especially for military personnel. The legislation is meant to fit within the current uniform powers laws. The ULC act is already available on the ULC website for anyone interested in reading it. The Commission will be moving forward with this legislation so any interested persons should bring comments to the December meeting for consideration before the final decision is made to approve the draft for introduction in 2015.
