House Bill 5921 (Substitute S-1 as reported by the Committee of the Whole)
Sponsor: Representative Gary Woronchak
House Committee: Family and Civil Law
Senate Committee: Families, Mental Health and Human Services
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Estates and Protected Individuals Code to require a guardian to give a copy of his or her report about a ward to the ward and interested persons. Under the Code, a guardian must report the condition of a ward and the ward's estate that is subject to the guardian's possession or control, as required by the court but not less than annually. The bill would require the guardian also to serve the report on the ward and the interested persons as specified in the Michigan Court Rules.

FISCAL IMPACT
The bill would have an indeterminate impact on State and local government. The incremental cost impact on those providing guardianship services would be minimal. The FY 2000-01 Family Independence Agency budget includes $600,000 (80/20 Federal/State match) for guardianship contracts. Actual expenditures in FY 1998-99 totaled $461,659.
