SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Human research. Revises the definition of human research. The bill adds agents appointed under advanced directives, legal guardians, spouses, adult children, and adult siblings to the list of people authorized to give consent to human research under the definition of "legally authorized representative". The bill provides that if two or more legally authorized representatives having the same priority disagree on participation in human research, the subject will not participate. The bill also changes competent and not-competent to capable or incapable of making an informed decision. Human research review committees are given the additional responsibility of determining whether the risks to the subjects are minimized by using sound research designs and whether additional safeguards are included when the subjects are a vulnerable population.
