This bill creates the Supported Decision-Making Agreements Act, allowing adults to receive assistance with their affairs from other adults through formal agreements. These agreements outline the support provided and protect individuals from abuse by including violations of the act in the crime of mistreatment of a dependent adult or elder person. The law aims to help adults make their own decisions with help, rather than needing a guardian or conservator.
