Minnesota SF2567 establishes a default surrogate for health decisions and outlines the process for appointing such a surrogate.

Minnesota SF2567 amends state statutes to create a framework for appointing a default surrogate for health decisions when an individual lacks decision-making capacity and has not appointed a health care agent. The bill specifies that a default surrogate can be a friend, a member of the individual's kinship system, or other specified individuals who are reasonably available and willing to act in good faith. Health care providers are protected from liability if they act in good faith and follow the outlined process.
