Illinois aid-in-dying law takes effect after judge declines injunction

Plus: FDA classifies cardiovascular AI notification software. The day's rules, money, and enforcement, sourced and tiered below.

Record

Illinois just became the first Midwestern state letting doctors prescribe life-ending medication to terminally ill adults, after a federal judge refused three days ago to block the law from taking effect today.

A separate suit over religious objections continues, and plaintiffs have 30 days to respond to the state's motion to dismiss their disability discrimination claims.

Record

The FDA just created a new middle-risk category for cardiovascular AI notification software, the kind that flags possible heart problems to doctors, setting rules future devices like it must follow to reach market.

The classification, published in the Federal Register Sept 11, spells out the special controls devicemakers must meet instead of the costlier full-approval process reserved for higher-risk devices.
