conditions relating to or surrounding it, or failure to state in any advertisement, proposal, or contract for the employment that
there is a strike or lockout at the place of the proposed employment, when in fact such strike or lockout then actually exists

the purposes of this section and section 181.65. (4)" insert "(d)" and reinstate the stricken language an a health care agent acting under this chapter directs the
provision of health care, nutrition, or hydration that, in reasonable medical judgment, has a significant possibility of
sustaining the life of the principal or declarant, a health care provider shall take all reasonable steps to ensure the provision
of the directed health care, nutrition, or hydration if the provider has the legal and actual capability of providing the health
care either itself or by transferring the principal or declarant to a health care provider who has that capability. Any transfer
of a principal or declarant under this paragraph must be done promptly and, if necessary to preserve the life of the principal
or declarant, by emergency means. This paragraph does not apply if a living will under chapter 145B or a durable power
of attorney for health care directive indicates an intention to the contrary.
