You should go read the bill. There is a lot more there than simple 'end
of life counselling'. The word used in the act is 'shall', which means
'is hereby ordered to'. The word 'may' wasn't used in the bill.

Well there's reading, and then there is reading with comprehension. You
may have read the bill, but you clearly didn't comprehend the bill. If
you had, you would realize Sec. 1233 amends existing law. You have to
read that existing law to place it in context.


Since you enjoy reading so much, enjoy:

Start on page 425. But, it's mute anyway. I've no doubt it amended
existing law. But, the language in the bill was 'shall' - not 'may'.

Of course, I defer to your reading and writing skills. They're
obviously much better than mine.
