AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law to extend the timeframe for holding a hearing on a petition to appoint a guardian or conservator. A guardian or conservator is a person appointed by a court to manage the affairs of someone who is unable to do so themselves, often due to age or disability. Previously, this hearing had to occur within 60 days of the respondent being served with notice or a guardian ad litem (a person appointed by the court to represent the interests of a minor or incapacitated person) being appointed. This bill changes that deadline to 90 days, providing a longer period for these important legal proceedings.
