Guardian governing provisions modified.
HF 1909 modifies Minnesota's guardianship laws to strengthen rights for people under guardianship or conservatorship. It expands the "Bill of Rights" section (524.5-120) to explicitly include the right to be consulted about personal property disposal, to challenge communication restrictions imposed by a guardian (requiring court approval for such restrictions), and to execute health care directives. The bill directly affects Minnesotans under court-appointed guardianship or conservatorship, ensuring greater autonomy in decisions about their care, property, and medical preferences. These changes require guardians and courts to follow specific procedures when limiting rights, emphasizing person-centered decision-making.
