Advance Directive Adoption Committee (ADAC)

You can use the Advance Directive Form, which is copied from Senate Bill 199 (2021). You do not have to use this specific form, but any form you use must be substantially the same.

About the Committee

The Advance Directive Adoption Committee (ADAC) provides guidance to the Oregon Health Authority on necessary revisions to Oregon’s Advance Directive form. The committee convenes for the first time in 2019. The committee reviews the Advance Directive form every four years.

Background

HB 4135 from the 2018 Regular Session requires the Oregon Health Authority-Public Health Division to convene an Advance Directive Adoption Committee to:

Adopt the form of an Advance Directive to be used in this state
Review the form every four years to adopt changes the committee determines necessary
Submit the form to Legislature for ratification during an odd numbered year

Initial Completed Work

The final version of the Advance Directive Form and a draft of the User's Guide were submitted to the legislature for potential ratification on September 1, 2020.
