Senate Bill 233 establishes a Conservatorship Management Task Force in Tennessee, composed of nine members, including various state commissioners and public representatives appointed by the governor. The task force's purpose is to review and improve the management and oversight of conservatorships, ensuring the health, safety, and welfare of individuals under such arrangements. It will assess the care provided by conservators, the management of assets, available resources, and educational offerings related to conservatorships. The task force is required to meet quarterly and submit annual reports of its findings and recommendations.
The bill outlines the structure and terms of the task force members, with initial appointments serving staggered terms that will transition to three-year terms thereafter. It specifies that members will not receive compensation or reimbursement for expenses incurred while performing their duties. The task force is administratively attached to the Department of Disability and Aging, which will provide necessary support. The act takes effect immediately for the purpose of appointing members, while other provisions will take effect on July 1, 2025.
