Bill > AB65

This bill revises several provisions related to guardianship in Nevada, making multiple important changes. The bill renames the State Guardianship Compliance Office to the State Guardianship Office and changes the title of the State Guardianship Compliance Officer to State Guardianship Officer, while expanding the officer's ability to hire accountants and investigators as needed within legislative appropriations. It modifies service of process rules for guardianship proceedings, allowing alternative methods of service beyond traditional personal service or certified mail, and giving courts more flexibility to waive publication requirements. The bill also introduces new provisions allowing courts to appoint or extend guardianships for minors seeking special immigrant juvenile status, with guardianships potentially lasting until the minor reaches 21 years old. Additionally, the bill prohibits governmental entities from charging fees for document copies requested by guardianship investigators and eliminates the previous requirement for the Department of Health and Human Services to be notified about Medicaid-receiving minors in guardianship proceedings. The changes aim to streamline guardianship processes, provide more flexibility for courts, and reduce administrative burdens for those involved in guardianship cases.
