for Supported Decision-Making
Colorado enacted supported decision-making legislation in 2020 and 2021. There are no new supported decision-making bills pending. We have not located any case law specifically recognizing supported decision-making, but it may still be required as a less restrictive alternative to guardianship.
Guardianship: Colo. Rev. Stat. §§ 15-14-101 to -122; 15-14-301 to -319; 15-14-401 to -434; 15-14.5-101 to -503
Supported Decision-Making: Colo. Rev. Stat. §§ 15-14-801 (primary supported decision-making statute); 15-14-102 (7.5), (13.5); 15-14-113.5 (requiring courts to appoint visitor to evaluate decision-making supports)
