Bill > SB99

This bill modifies the licensing requirements and regulations for private professional conservators in Alaska. The bill expands the qualifications for obtaining a private professional conservator license by adding a new option: in addition to being certified as a guardian by a nationally recognized organization, applicants can now also be licensed as a certified public accountant (CPA). The bill introduces a temporary licensing mechanism that allows individuals who are not yet certified or licensed to obtain a temporary license if they are likely to become certified or licensed within one year. The bill also updates the grounds for disciplinary action against conservators, modifying language related to maintaining certification or licensure. Specifically, the changes allow for disciplinary action if a conservator fails to maintain the certification or licensure required to obtain their original license, which now includes either guardian certification or CPA licensure. These modifications aim to provide more flexibility in professional qualifications while maintaining standards of professional conduct and competence for conservators who manage financial affairs and personal care for protected individuals.
