Joint Budget Committee. In 2019, the general assembly extended
the office of public guardianship (office) until 2023. The bill corrects 2 dates that should have been extended. If the office is not further extended, it will need additional time to wind up its affairs. The repeal of the article creating the office is extended to June 30, 2024, to allow time for the office to wind up its affairs.
The general assembly increased certain court fees to fund the
office. The bill requires the office, if it is not further extended, to notify the joint budget committee that those fees can be reduced.
