I’m glad you found it.

There was another change in the law which played a pivotal role in her murder. Nutrition and hydration were added to the list of extraordinary medical procedures which could be withheld or withdrawn. George Felos (the lawyer representing Terri’s estranged husband in his quest to kill her) lobbied to get that legislation through.

Do you remember when that legislation was passed, and whether Jeb was responsible for signing it?

Here is another 1999 change that affected Terri's case:

1998 Florida Statutes 765.101
(9) “Life-prolonging procedure” means any medical procedure, treatment, or intervention which:
(a) Utilizes mechanical or other artificial means to sustain, restore, or supplant a spontaneous vital function; and
(b) When applied to a patient in a terminal condition, serves only to prolong the process of dying.

The term “life-prolonging procedure” does not include the administration of medication or performance of medical procedure, when such medication or procedure is deemed necessary to provide comfort care or to alleviate pain.

1999 Florida Statues 765.101

(10) “Life-prolonging procedure” means any medical procedure, treatment, or intervention, including artificially provided sustenance and hydration, which sustains, restores, or supplants a spontaneous vital function. The term does not include the administration of medication or performance of medical procedure, when such medication or procedure is deemed necessary to provide comfort care or to alleviate pain.

I found the pdf that has the changes to the Florida Statutes that affect someone like Terri.

Ch_1999-331.pdf 79 KB End-of-life Care S 2228

It is Chapter 99-331
Committee Substitute for Committee Substitute for Senate Bill No.2228

So evidently, the language of these specific statutes were changed in Committee.

It was approved by Jeb Bush on June 11,1999 and filed in Office Secretary of State June 11,1999.

I was trying to match up any email Jeb Bush may have received during this time period with these “end-of-life care” changes, but I don't have the “.pst” files. Can anyone take a look at the .pst files and see if Jeb received any emails about these changes. Searches on “end-of-life care”, “, “765.”, “S 2228”, or “331” may give us some hits.
