AN ACT ESTABLISHING A WORKING GROUP TO STUDY ISSUES RELATING TO THE WORK OF CONSERVATORS IN THE PROBATE COURT SYSTEM.

SB 776 establishes a working group to study challenges faced by conservators - people managing others' finances in court-appointed roles - within the probate court system. The group will examine specific issues like delays in payments to conservators, requirements for fee waivers, compensation levels, and how slow court decisions affect Medicaid eligibility for clients. This bill does not change laws but creates a study group to develop recommendations for addressing these operational problems. The working group will include experts from the judiciary, social services, and probate law. (Bill: SB 776, 2025 General Assembly)
