This bill amends various sections of the Oklahoma Statutes related to guardianship, specifically focusing on the training requirements for individuals appointed as guardians for persons diagnosed with neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease or dementia. The court is authorized to compel applicants for guardianship to complete prerequisite training tailored to the needs of the ward before their appointment. Verification of this training must be submitted to the court, unless waived. Additionally, the Department of Human Services is tasked with maintaining a list of approved training programs, ensuring that only qualified training is recognized for guardianship purposes.

The bill also updates statutory language and references, clarifying the powers of the court in guardianship proceedings. It emphasizes the necessity of training for guardians to ensure they are equipped to meet the specific needs of their wards, particularly those with neurological conditions. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2025.
