What it does
The Legacy Act of 2025 directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to partner with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to study the creation of a national, confidential, and secure system for storing and retrieving individuals’ last wish documents—such as advance directives, organ donor registrations, healthcare proxies, powers of attorney, and living wills—at no cost to the individual. The study must report its status within two years and final results within four years of the bill’s enactment. The bill aims to improve access to critical end-of-life and healthcare planning documents through a federally supported, standardized system.
