He said the commission recommended five uniform Acts for introduction during the 2017 legislative session and is tentatively recommending one uniform Act. Because the state has a similar statute, he said, the commission is tentatively recommending the Uniform Power of Attorney Act. He said the commission members will consult with interested parties to determine whether to introduce the Uniform Power of Attorney Act, which seeks to preserve the durable power of attorney as a low-cost, flexible, and private form of surrogate decisionmaking while deterring use of the power of attorney as a tool for financial abuse of incapacitated individuals.
