    8         395.3042 Voluntary nonopioid patient form.—
    9         (1) As used in this section, the term “episode of care”
   10  includes all the services provided to a patient to clinically
   11  treat a condition, an illness, or a procedure.
   12         (2) The agency shall create and post on its website a
   13  voluntary nonopioid patient form that allows a person to
   14  indicate to a treating health care provider that the person
   15  should not be prescribed or administered an opioid drug during
   16  an episode of care. Each health care facility shall post the
   17  voluntary nonopioid patient form on the facility’s website or
   18  provide a link to the form on the agency’s website.
   19         (3) At the person’s request and before a specified episode
   20  of care, the form may be filed in the person’s medical record in
   21  a health care facility or a private office of a health care
   22  practitioner who is providing pretreatment or posttreatment
   23  care, or both, to the person for a specified episode of care
   24  related to the form. The form serves as a person’s directive
   25  related to treatment using opioid drugs during the episode of
   26  care at the facility or during the health care practitioner’s
   27  pretreatment or posttreatment care.
   28         (4) A person may revoke a voluntary nonopioid form for any
   29  reason and may do so by written or oral statement. The form
   30  expires upon the conclusion of the specified episode of care for
   31  which it was filed.
   32         Section 2. This act shall take effect July 1, 2025.
