'Next of kin' bill aims to close medical decision-making gap in Michigan

A new set of bipartisan bills aims to close the medical decision-making gap in Michigan, allowing next of kin to make critical decisions when needed.

State Rep. Jamie Thompson (R-Brownstown) is co-sponsoring the legislation along with Angela Witwer (D-Delta Township) to close the medical decision-making gap in Michigan.

Rep. Thompson joined the Metro to discuss the details of the bill, and her personal experience which highlights Michigan's need for a next-of-kin law in the state.
