Establishes Office of Professional Corporate Guardians.
This bill establishes the Office of Professional Corporate Guardians within the Department of Human Services to regulate business entities that serve as guardians for incapacitated or disabled individuals. The office will set licensing requirements, including background checks for owners, insurance coverage, minimum staffing standards, and disciplinary measures for non-compliance. It will maintain a public database of registered guardians and oversee the quality of services provided to vulnerable adults who need guardianship. This affects professional corporate guardians (business entities providing guardianship services) and the incapacitated individuals they serve, creating a standardized oversight system for this type of guardianship.
