This bill amends various sections of the Oklahoma Statutes related to guardianship, specifically focusing on the training requirements for guardians of individuals diagnosed with neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia. It authorizes the court to compel applicants for guardianship to complete prerequisite training tailored to the needs of the ward before their appointment. The bill mandates that verification of this training must be submitted to the court, unless waived, and establishes that the Department of Human Services will maintain a list of approved training programs.

Additionally, the bill updates statutory language and references, ensuring clarity and consistency in the guardianship process. It emphasizes the importance 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.
