SB776

Establishes supported decision-making agreements for qualified adults with disabilities, mental illness, or aging.

This bill creates a legal framework for supported decision-making agreements in Hawaii. These agreements allow qualified adults with disabilities, mental illness, or aging to make decisions with the help of trusted individuals. The agreements outline the roles and responsibilities of the supportive community, ensuring confidentiality and prohibiting coercion. The agreements can be terminated by any party and automatically if abuse is found. The bill also protects those who rely on the agreements from liability.
