Summary
The bill changes Michigan's guardianship law so courts must first appoint a licensed professional guardian or a qualified individual, and only use a state agency or service provider as a last resort. It also requires courts to ask the person with a developmental disability about their guardian preference. The changes only take effect if a companion bill, HB 4728, is enacted.
