Removed 'attorney-in-fact' from the list of services and supports the Public Guardian can provide, reducing the range of legal support options available to eligible individuals.

Changed document version labels from 'Introduced' to 'A-Engrossed' and updated section headers to reflect the amended version of the bill.
