No. 1254
| Introduced by Senator Moorlach |

An act relating to homelessness.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1254, as introduced, Moorlach.
Homeless: guardians ad litem.
Existing law authorizes a court, on its own motion or on request of certain specified persons, to appoint a guardian ad litem in any probate proceeding, as specified, to represent the interests of certain persons, including a minor or an incapacitated person. Existing law prohibits the appointment of a public guardian as a guardian ad litem in a probate proceeding, unless the court finds that no other qualified person is willing to act as a guardian ad litem.
This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation to establish a system for the appointment of guardians ad litem to represent homeless persons who are treatment and programmatic resistant.
