Guardianship of a disabled adult
(David Harris, R-Mount Prospect) amends the Probate Act of 1975 affecting disabled adults. It provides that unless a guardian of the person of a disabled adult is specifically authorized by court order, the guardian may not restrict the personal rights of the ward, including, but not limited to, the right to receive visitors, telephone calls, and personal mail. Just introduced and referred to House Rules Committee.
