Reminder! The Human Services Committee is holding a public hearing next tomorrow, March 10 at 11am in Room 2E on HB 5485 An Act Concerning Supporting Decision Making. This bill will recognize SDM agreements in statute so people who choose SDM can have their agreements honored by landlords, banks, medical providers, state agencies and others. We are asking people to testify, either in writing or in-person (either at the LOB or virtually). We also need as many people as possible to show up on Tuesday at the LOB to show community support for Supported Decision-Making.
Please help to get this legislation passed by submitting written testimony to here and joining us at the hearing. Anyone wishing to speak at the hearing, must sign up by 3:00 PM on Monday March 9, 2026.
If possible, please come to the hearing so that legislators can see that people with disabilities, seniors, and their families support SDM. Your presence can make a real difference in showing the broad community support for this important legislation.
