HB 1405 - DIGEST

Provides that, for an inmate who has had final disposition of at least one appeal and is under a sentence of death or whose death sentence is under additional appellate review, the department may provide basic, nonemergency health care services, including administration of medication necessary for pain relief or to prevent infection or contagion, but shall not use any public funds to provide a life-saving health care procedure. The department may, however, provide procedures such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the Heimlich maneuver, and other similar, basic emergency life-saving procedures.
