MINOR
The bill was amended to reflect its committee discharge and recommitment. Substantively, the text was reorganized to move a specific requirement about considering 'protective arrangements' to an earlier section. Additionally, the banking law section was expanded to include more types of financial institutions and clarify the timeline for providing records for Medicaid applications.
Scope change
The scope of the banking law requirement was broadened to include branches of out-of-state banks, foreign banking corporations, and federal trust companies, and the definition of the requesting agency was clarified.
REQUIREMENT

A requirement to consider protective arrangements as an alternative to full guardianship was moved from a later section to an earlier one to improve the bill's logical flow.

The banking law section was expanded to require a wider range of financial institutions (including branches of out-of-state banks and foreign banking corporations) to provide records for Medicaid applications.

The banking law section was clarified to specify that most institutions must provide records within a 'reasonable amount of time,' while specific institutions must do so within thirty days.
