AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.

Several state agencies — including local mental health authorities, the Office of Substance Use and Mental Health, the Division of Aging and Adult Services, the Division of Services for People with Disabilities, and the state's protection and advocacy agency for people with disabilities — must now provide information and referrals about guardianship and conservatorship to anyone who contacts them, covering topics like alternatives to guardianship, how to apply, free legal resources, and how to find an attorney. The bill also allows the Office of Public Guardian to offer training to the public on guardianship-related topics, and it expands what Utahns can include in an advance mental health care directive — a legal document expressing your wishes for future mental health treatment — to now include preferences about who should serve as your guardian if one is ever appointed.
