Bill Summary
Guardianship; copy of appointment, termination, or modification order; Department of Medical Assistance Services. Removes the requirement of a clerk of court in a guardianship proceeding to forward a copy of an order appointing a guardian and a copy of the certificate of qualification to the Department of Medical Assistance Services. The bill further removes such a forwarding requirement when a guardianship is terminated or otherwise modified. This bill is identical to HB 1119.
AI Summary
This bill modifies existing Virginia law regarding guardianship proceedings by removing the requirement for a clerk of court to send copies of certain guardianship orders to the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS). Specifically, clerks will no longer need to forward a copy of an order appointing a guardian, nor a copy of the certificate of qualification, to DMAS. This change also applies when a guardianship is terminated or otherwise modified, meaning copies of those orders will also no longer be sent to DMAS. The Department of Medical Assistance Services is a state agency that administers Medicaid and other health and human services programs.
