(1) The member of the
supportive community may only assist the adult with a disability in accessing,
collecting, or obtaining information that is relevant to a decision made pursuant to
the supported decision-making agreement and only when such assistance is
specifically requested by the adult with a disability.

(2) If the member of the supportive community assists the adult with a
disability in accessing, collecting, or obtaining financial or personal information, the
member of the supportive community shall keep the information confidential, as
requested by the adult with a disability.

(3) A member of the supportive community who obtains information pursuant
to this section may only use such information for the specific purposes requested
by the adult with a disability and any misuse of the information may be subject to
criminal and civil liability.

(4) The existence of a supported decision-making agreement does not
preclude an adult with a disability from seeking personal information on their own
without the assistance of the member of the supportive community.
