LC 3889 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise court appointed special advocates and guardian ad litem laws

This bill (LC 3889) aimed to update the legal framework governing court-appointed special advocates (CASAs) and guardian ad litem (GAL) programs. It would have revised procedures for appointing these advocates, updated qualification standards for professionals serving in these roles, and clarified their responsibilities in cases involving children. These changes would directly affect children in custody, abuse, or neglect cases, as well as the advocates and courts managing these proceedings. The bill was drafted but ultimately did not advance, as it was marked "Draft Died in Process" in May 2025.
