Relating to certain mandatory training for guardians ad litem.

SB 2939 requires court-appointed guardians ad litem (who represent incapacitated adults in guardianship cases) to complete 4.75 hours of mandatory training within a reasonable timeframe after appointment. This training must cover guardianship law basics, ethical duties, communication techniques, relevant medical conditions, and court procedures, and must be low-cost and accessible statewide, including online. Guardians must renew this training every two years, with exemptions possible if a court determines they have equivalent experience. The bill applies directly to individuals serving as guardians ad litem in Texas guardianship proceedings.
