What’s in it

This bill relates to guardianships and conservatorships of minors. Under current law, the juvenile court has exclusive jurisdiction of guardianship proceedings. The bill provides that the juvenile court also has exclusive jurisdiction over guardianships of minors. The bill changes a Code reference for a petition to appoint a conservator for a minor. The bill provides that a petition for a minor guardianship must state whether a minor needs or currently has a conservatorship. The bill describes who is qualified to serve as a court visitor for a minor.

Read the full explanation

The bill adds additional report requirements for cases where a minor has a conservatorship, requires the guardian to report to the district court in the case of minor conservatorships, and requires that the reporting period be listed on the report. The bill provides that notice of a guardianship proceeding must be given to any adult with whom the minor has lived for the six months immediately preceding the filing of the petition.304. The bill strikes a reference to “without prior court approval” in a Code section listing powers a court may grant to a guardian. The bill also directs that the initial verified care plan must include the guardian’s plan for applying and receiving funds and benefits for the support of the minor.
