(1) It is the intent of the Legislature to establish a process for the designation of a person to make a health care decision for an adult or an emancipated minor who becomes incapable of making such a decision in the absence of a guardian or an advance health care directive.

(2) The Legislature does not intend to encourage or discourage any particular health care decision or to create any new right or alter any existing right of competent adults or emancipated minors to make such decisions, but the Legislature does intend through the Health Care Surrogacy Act to allow an adult or an emancipated minor to exercise rights he or she already possesses by means of health care decisions made on his or her behalf by a qualified surrogate.

(3) The Health Care Surrogacy Act shall not confer any new rights regarding the provision or rejection of any specific medical treatment and shall not alter any existing law concerning homicide, suicide, or assisted suicide. Nothing in the Health Care Surrogacy Act shall be construed to condone, authorize, or approve purposefully causing, or assisting in causing, the death of any individual, such as by homicide, suicide, or assisted suicide.

It is the intent of the Legislature to encourage the use of all proven techniques for the enforcement of support orders. The Legislature finds that the potential suspension of a professional, occupational, or recreational license or a motor vehicle operator's license for failure to pay child, spousal, and medical support is an effective technique for the enforcement of support orders, particularly for non-wage-earning and self-employed license holders who are not in compliance with support orders. It is the intent of the Legislature to encourage license holders to comply with their legal obligations and to add to the tools available for the enforcement of support orders. Therefor, the Department of Health and Human Services, county attorneys, authorized attorneys, or courts of competent jurisdiction are authorized to initiate actions under the License Suspension Act against individuals who are not in compliance with support orders.

(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no district shall approve a transfer of certified water uses or certified irrigated acres or allow a ground water user or landowner to participate in a financial or other incentive program established pursuant to subsection (8) of section 46-739 unless the person seeking such transfer or participation in such program has submitted to the district a report of title issued by an attorney or a registered abstracter, on a form prescribed by the district, reflecting (a) the owner and legal description of the land from which the certified water uses or certified irrigated acres are to be transferred or which is the subject of such program and (b) the existence of all liens, evidenced by the filing of a mortgage, trust deed, or other equivalent consensual security interest, against the land from which the certified water uses or certified irrigated acres are to be transferred or which is the subject of such program and the name and address of each such lienholder, if any. If the report of title reflects the existence of any lien evidenced by the filing of a mortgage, trust deed, or other equivalent consensual security interest, written consent to such transfer or participation in such program shall be obtained from each such lienholder. The district may assess a fee against the person seeking such transfer or participation in such program to recoup its costs in reviewing the report of title. This subsection does not apply to a transfer of certified water uses or certified irrigated acres resulting from: A one-time transfer of four acres or less; participation in a financial or other incentive program that involves the transfer, purchase, or retirement of four acres or less; or a transfer that involves one landowner on a single tract of land in which there is no reduction or increase in certified water uses or certified irrigated acres and the transfer involves an improvement in irrigation efficiency.

(2) Approval of a transfer of certified water uses or certified irrigated acres or authorization of a ground water user or landowner to participate in such financial or other incentive program by a district shall not affect the rights of any lienholder who is not reflected in the report of title and from whom the required consent was not obtained. Such a lienholder may bring an action against the person seeking such transfer or participation in such program for damages or injunctive or other relief for any injury done to the lienholder's interest in land or use of ground water resulting from such transfer or participation.

(3) This section does not limit the right to resort to other means of review, redress, or relief provided by law.
