The bill amends and reenacts Section 12 of Chapter 1 of Title VIII of Book I of the Civil Code, specifically addressing the provisions related to continuing tutorship for individuals with disabilities. It introduces the concept of both full and limited continuing tutorship, allowing for a more nuanced approach to guardianship that reflects the varying needs of individuals. The language has been updated to replace "permanent tutorship" with "continuing tutorship" to enhance clarity and accuracy. Additionally, the bill specifies that the petition for continuing tutorship can be made for unemancipated minors aged fifteen to eighteen, considering both intellectual and adaptive functioning levels.

Key changes include the authority granted to tutors under both full and limited continuing tutorship, which now aligns with the responsibilities typically associated with other forms of tutorship. The bill also clarifies the legal capacity of individuals under tutorship, stating that those under full continuing tutorship will have the legal capacity of an unemancipated minor, while those under limited tutorship will have their capacity defined by the decree. Furthermore, it allows for the contestation of decrees restricting legal capacity, ensuring that individuals have the right to challenge such decisions in court. Overall, the bill aims to provide a more flexible and supportive legal framework for the tutorship of individuals with disabilities.
