A 969 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes Office of Professional Corporate Guardians.

This bill establishes an independent Office of Professional Corporate Guardians within New Jersey’s Department of Human Services to regulate business entities serving as legal guardians for disabled or incapacitated individuals. The office will set standards for these guardians, require registration (with conditions like minimum staffing, liability insurance, and a New Jersey office), and enforce compliance through disciplinary actions. It directly affects professional corporate guardians (businesses providing guardianship services) and the disabled or incapacitated people (wards) who rely on them. The office will also maintain a public database of registered guardians to improve transparency and accountability.
