AI Summary
This bill removes the requirement for a clerk of court to send copies of guardianship orders to the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS), which is a state agency that administers Medicaid and other health and human services programs. Specifically, the bill amends existing laws to eliminate the need for clerks to forward copies of orders appointing a guardian, terminating a guardianship, or modifying a guardianship to the DMAS. This change streamlines the process by removing an administrative step that is no longer deemed necessary for the DMAS's functions.
