Sections 10.19.020 and 10.19.025 do not apply when a terminally ill or permanently unconscious person or his or her legal surrogate, as set forth in Chapter 7.70 RCW, requests, and the person receives, palliative care from a licensed home health agency, hospice agency, nursing home, or hospital providing care under the medical direction of a physician. As used in this section, the terms “terminally ill” and “permanently unconscious” have the same meaning as “terminal condition” and “permanent unconscious condition” in Chapter 70.122 RCW. (Ord. 3567-17 § 4, 2017; Ord. 2468-00 § 4, 2000.)
