Oklahoma Supported Decision-Making Act enables adults to receive assistance in decision-making while retaining legal authority.
The Oklahoma Supported Decision-Making Act allows adults to enter into agreements with supporters who can assist in understanding, making, and communicating decisions. Supporters cannot substitute as decision-makers but can help with tasks like understanding information, obtaining records, attending meetings, and communicating decisions. The act prohibits supporters from exerting undue influence, making decisions on behalf of the adult, or obtaining unrelated information without consent. The agreement can be terminated at any time by the adult or supporter.
