AI Summary
This bill, by amending sections of the Nebraska Probate Code, establishes a limit on the number of individuals for whom a person can serve as a guardian or conservator. A guardian is a person appointed by a court to make decisions and care for an incapacitated individual, while a conservator manages the financial affairs of someone who cannot do so themselves. Specifically, the bill adds new provisions stating that neither a guardian nor a conservator can accept an appointment for an individual if they are already serving as a guardian or conservator for twenty individuals. This aims to ensure that individuals appointed to these roles have sufficient capacity to manage their responsibilities effectively for each person under their care. The bill also repeals the original versions of the sections it amends.
