HB 6811

House·20th Congress·Filed Dec 15, 2025

An Act Institutionalizing the Recognition of Health Care Proxies for Non-Spousal Partners Through a Nationwide “right to Care” System, and Appropriating Funds Therefor

In plain language

The Partners in Care Act would let any adult legally name a trusted person—such as a non‑spousal partner—to make medical decisions for them if they become unable to do so, and it creates a national “Right to Care Card” and registry that doctors and hospitals must accept.
