S 1828 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Revises visitation and reporting rules for professional guardians.

This bill (S 1828) updates visitation and reporting rules for professional guardians in New Jersey. It requires registered professional guardians to visit their wards at least once every three weeks (instead of monthly) and maintain regular contact to monitor the ward's health and needs. The bill also revises reporting requirements, mandating that guardians include specific details about the ward's condition, care services, and the ward's participation in decisions. These changes directly affect professional guardians and the adults under their legal care who lack decision-making capacity. The bill aims to strengthen oversight and ensure more frequent, meaningful engagement between guardians and their wards.
