Enacts the New York state good guardianship act

This bill establishes a statewide program to expand access to qualified, nonprofit guardianship services for New Yorkers who cannot manage their own affairs due to age, disability, or incapacity. It directs the state to fund existing qualified nonprofit organizations to serve as guardians when no family or other guardian can be found, operate a public helpline for guardianship guidance, and build new program capacity. Key mechanisms include state grants for nonprofits meeting specific criteria, mandatory data collection on cases, and annual reporting to state leaders on program effectiveness. The initiative aims to replace unscrupulous for-profit guardians, reduce reliance on social services, and ensure comprehensive care at no cost to vulnerable individuals.
