Introduced
by
To revise details of an “order of priority” used by a court in appointing a professional guardian of an individual with a developmental disability, which can be an individual with or without a state certification, or a person or company (law firm) that is certified for this. Under current law and this bill a court is required to make a reasonable effort to question the disabled individual concerning his or her preference in guardians and to “consider” this. However, if House Bill 6253 becomes law a disabled individual could no longer choose to have a guardian without the prescribed government certification.
Referred to the Committee on Judiciary
