for Supported Decision-Making
Florida has not passed supported decision-making legislation. A bill that would recognize supported decision-making has been previously introduced, but there are no new supported decision-making bills pending. There is case law that specifically recognizes supported decision-making as a less restrictive alternative to guardianship.
Fla. Stat. §§ 744.101 to .649; 747.01 to .052; 393.12 (guardian advocate for developmental disabilities)
