An Act relative to caregiver authorization affidavits

This bill creates a legal process for parents or guardians to formally authorize a designated adult, such as a relative or friend, to act as a caregiver for their minor children. The document, known as a caregiver authorization affidavit, grants the caregiver specific rights to make decisions regarding the child's education, healthcare, and recreational activities without needing a court order. To be valid, the affidavit must include detailed personal information, confirm that no court restrictions exist, and be signed under oath in front of two witnesses and a notary. The authorization is limited to two years and can be revoked or amended by the parent at any time, ensuring that the biological or legal guardian retains ultimate control over the child's welfare.
