SB 346

This bill makes several changes to Nevada’s guardianship laws, aiming to improve the process and ensure less restrictive alternatives are considered. It defines key terms like "less restrictive alternatives to guardianship" and "power of attorney" for guardianship purposes. Specifically, the bill requires petitions for guardianship to demonstrate that less restrictive options have been explored and considered, and it mandates that guardianship reports explain why those alternatives aren’t being used. Furthermore, it addresses transferring guardianship orders from other states, emphasizing the need to consider less restrictive alternatives during that process. Finally, it reinforces the protected person’s right to be educated about these alternatives.
