Hawaii Could Be the Seventh State to Allow Medical Aid-In-Dying
Expected to pass in the
Senate, Hawaii’s
House has approved a controversial medical aid-in-dying measure. (House Bill 2739) The measure allows a physician to prescribe
life-ending medications to terminally ill, but mentally capable, patients with
less than six months to live. The patient
must be capable of taking the medication themselves, only physicians may prescribe
the medications, and a mental health consultation is required beforehand.

The AMBER Alert in Indian Country Act
House Gives Final OK to Bill
Extending AMBER Alerts to Indian Country
Until now, tribal law
enforcement agencies had to work through state and local police agencies to
post an AMBER alert. This bill is
sponsored by Senator McCain of Arizona,
and was sparked by the May 2016 abduction of Ashlynne Mike, an eleven year old
Navajo girl; an alert was not posted until the day her body was found. The AMBER Alert in Indian Country Act will give
tribes direct access to funds letting them quickly post AMBER alerts by text
messaging, radio, and television.
