1881 amends the Estates Code to establish the Supported Decision-Making
Agreement Act under which an adult with a disability may voluntarily, without
undue influence or coercion, enter into a supported decision-making agreement
with a supporter. The bill, among other provisions, specifies the type of
assistance a supporter is authorized to give under the agreement and the
conditions under which a supporter is authorized to access certain personal
information of an adult with a disability. The bill provides for the reporting
of suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of an adult with a disability who
has entered into an agreement. </span></p>
