The Supported Decision-Making Act establishes a framework for individuals with disabilities to make their own decisions with the assistance of designated supporters. The Act defines key terms such as "decision-maker," "supporter," and "supported decision-making agreement," and outlines the requirements for these agreements, including the need for written documentation, voluntary signatures, and the designation of specific types of decisions for which support is provided. It emphasizes that all decision-makers are presumed to have the capacity to manage their affairs unless a court determines otherwise, and it prohibits supporters from making decisions on behalf of the decision-maker or engaging in self-dealing.

Additionally, the Act creates a Supported Decision-Making Program within the Office of Guardianship in the Developmental Disabilities Council, which will provide resources and support for individuals entering into these agreements. The program will also monitor compliance with statutory requirements and facilitate reporting of suspected abuse or exploitation. To fund these initiatives, the Act appropriates $289,000 from the general fund for the fiscal year 2026.
