California’s End of Life Option Act, which went into effect on 2016, was recently declared unconstitutional by Riverside County Superior Court Judge Ottolia. Judge Ottolia found that the California legislature had passed the law improperly. The law had been passed during a special session dedicated to healthcare issues and Judge Ottolia found that the suicide law was not germane to the purpose of the special session. Here is a link to a story by Wesley Smith on the state court ruling. Here is a link to an LA Times story describing the current status of the litigation. The California Attorney General has appealed Judge Ottolia’s ruling but the California assisted suicide law is not currently in effect.
