AR HB2006

Amends Arkansas Code § 28-65-218(a) to establish that temporary guardianship appointments for incapacitated persons cannot exceed 90 days including all extensions, with authority for courts to remove, discharge, or terminate the guardianship.

Creates a specific 90-day initial appointment period for temporary guardians of minors, with the ability to extend for an additional 90 days if the court finds after a hearing that imminent danger remains.

Requires notice of extension hearings to be provided before the hearing as specified in the statute, with an exception for persons whose whereabouts are unknown or cannot be reasonably ascertained.

Modifies Arkansas Code § 28-65-218(f) to require a full hearing on the merits within 14 business days of an emergency guardianship order entry (replacing the previous 3 working days requirement for temporary guardianship orders).

Allows hearings to be extended upon the next available court date in the appropriate venue if good cause is shown.
