A bill to amend 1998 PA 386, entitled “Estates and protected individuals code,” by amending section 5106 (MCL 700.5106), as amended by 2017 PA 136.
This legislation aims to regulate the appointment and oversight of professional guardians or conservators for wards, developmentally disabled, incapacitated, or protected individuals. It emphasizes that such appointments must prioritize the best interest of the protected individual when no suitable alternatives exist. The bill mandates the filing of a bond by the appointed guardian or conservator, limits their benefits from the appointment, requires disclosure of compensation from non-state sources, and sets forth requirements for visitation schedules and staffing levels to ensure adequate care.
