(a) An individual seeking to obtain a prescription for an aid-in-dying drug pursuant to this part shall submit two oral requests, a minimum of 48 hours apart, and a written request to their attending physician. An attending physician shall directly, and not through a designee, receive a request required pursuant to this section and shall ensure the date of a request is documented in an individual’s medical record.

(B) An individual who voluntarily signed this request in their presence. (C) An individual whom they believe to be of sound mind and not under duress, fraud, or undue influence.
