AZ HB2769

Amends Arizona law to add article 9 to Title 14, Chapter 5, establishing a legal framework for supported decision-making agreements for adults with disabilities.

Allows adults with disabilities to voluntarily enter into supported decision-making agreements with a "supporter" to assist with life decisions regarding housing, healthcare, education, employment, and financial matters, without the supporter making decisions on behalf of the adult.

Requires supporters to act in good faith, with loyalty and without self-interest, avoid conflicts of interest, and are prohibited from receiving any compensation for their role.

Requires supported decision-making agreements to be signed by both the adult and supporter in the presence of two witnesses (at least 18 years old) or a notary public, and specifies agreements automatically terminate if the adult becomes incapacitated or a guardian is appointed.

Creates criminal and civil penalties for supporters who use intimidation or deception to procure the agreement and allows interested persons to petition the court to determine the validity of an agreement.
