2011 Regular Session
House Bill 5316
AN ACT CONCERNING GUARDIANSHIP OF CHILDREN WITH MENTAL RETARDATION.
What it does
The synopsis the General Assembly published with the bill.
To allow the parent of a mentally retarded child to seek guardianship of their child when the child turns seventeen years and six months old, instead of waiting for the child to turn eighteen to initiate the guardianship process. This would eliminate the time gap between the end of parental rights over the child and the beginning of guardianship supervision during which the child is not afforded legal protection.
