S 3484 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Revises requirements concerning disqualification from registration as, and duties of, a professional guardian.

This bill (S 3484) revises rules for professional guardians in New Jersey by expanding the grounds for disqualification from registration or for suspension/revocation of their license. It adds 11 new disqualification reasons, including failing to accept court-assigned pro bono cases, self-dealing, and repeated violations of court orders. Registered guardians must now maintain detailed records for audits by the Office of the Public Guardian and face civil penalties of $5,000-$10,000 if their license is revoked. The changes directly affect licensed professional guardians who care for incapacitated adults, strengthening oversight and accountability.
