IL HB3372

Courts must inquire during guardianship hearings whether a supported decision-making agreement or limited guardianship would be appropriate alternatives to plenary guardianship, and guardians ad litem must address this in their written reports

Expands the Supported Decision-Making Agreement Act to cover all adults who need decision-making assistance, removing the prior requirement that the person must have an intellectual or developmental disability

Alzheimer's disease or dementia diagnoses alone do not void the presumption that an adult has capacity to make decisions

Supporters must complete mandatory training developed by the Guardianship and Advocacy Commission within 45 days of signing the consent to act as a supporter

Agreements are terminated by restraining orders against the supporter, principal revocation, supporter resignation, court order, or reaching a termination date; agreements are suspended when Health Care Surrogate Act conditions are met, when an evaluation finds the principal lacks decisional capacity, or when a durable power of attorney is active
