AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 34-1-108(a), which deals with the appointment of guardians and conservators, by extending the timeframe for a required hearing. Previously, a hearing for a petitioner seeking to be appointed as a guardian or conservator had to be held within 60 days of the respondent being served with notice or a guardian ad litem (a court-appointed representative for someone who cannot represent themselves, often a minor or incapacitated person) being appointed. This bill changes that deadline to 90 days, providing a longer period for these legal proceedings to take place.
