person provide a prescribed notice to a decision-maker, and the agency,

entity, or person required to provide such notice has received a

supported decision-making agreement from a decision-maker that specifies

agreement shall also provide the specified supporter with a copy of such

notice.

municipal law requires that an agency, entity, or person provide a

prescribed notice to a decision-maker and such notice includes protected

information, including private health information or educational records

the specified supporter unless the supported decision-making agreement

is accompanied by a release authorizing the specified supporter to

obtain the protected information.
