The resolution proposes an interim study to evaluate the potential adoption of the Uniform Law Commission's Uniform Guardianship, Conservatorship, and Other Protective Arrangements Act in Nebraska. It aims to assess the state's existing statutory framework for guardianships and conservatorships, identifying any issues that have emerged since the current laws were enacted. The study will also explore whether the proposed uniform act could resolve these issues or introduce new challenges.
The Judiciary Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is tasked with conducting this interim study. The committee will review relevant statutes, case law, and gather testimony from individuals with experience in Nebraska's guardianship and conservatorship laws. Upon completing the study, the committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature.
