An Act relating to guardianships, conservatorships, and other protective arrangements; relating to the public guardian; relating to the crime of violating a protective order; amending the Alaska Rules of Probate Procedure, and Rule 77(c), Alaska Rules of Civil Procedure; and providing for an effective date.

Summary

SB 190 overhauls the state’s rules for guardianships, conservatorships and related protective arrangements, adding emergency‑guardian procedures, notice and objection rights for adults and minors, and allowing courts to use a "protective arrangement" instead of a traditional guardianship. It also sets licensing, fee and bond requirements for the public guardian, gives that office authority over digital assets, and makes it a criminal offense to violate a protective order. The changes are intended to improve protection for vulnerable people while giving them more participation in the process.
