Reestablish the working interdisciplinary network of guardianship stakeholders

HB 765 reestablishes the Working Interdisciplinary Network of Guardianship Stakeholders and a Public Guardianship Grant Program in Montana. The network, composed of nine members appointed by the Chief Justice, evaluates state laws, services, and practices related to adult guardianship and conservatorship, identifying system strengths and weaknesses and proposing training. The bill also creates a grant program within the judicial branch to fund organizations providing guardianship services to indigent individuals. These grants aim to offer training and guidance to family members, public defenders, judges, and volunteer guardians involved in guardianship cases. The overall goal is to enhance the quality of care and life for adults within the guardianship system.
