Changes the maximum delegation period for parental power of attorney from 6 months to 180 days for care, custody, or property of minor children or wards.

Prohibits parents from knowingly and intentionally delegating parental powers for longer than 180 days for the purpose of permanently transferring custody of a minor child in violation of Michigan Penal Code section 750.136c.

Extends the delegation period to 31 days after deployment ends for parents or guardians serving in the U.S. armed forces who are deployed to a foreign nation, if the power of attorney so provides.

Requires guardians delegating any power under this section to notify the court within 7 days of executing the power of attorney, including the attorney-in-fact's name, address, and telephone number.

Bill takes effect only if Senate Bill No. 923 is enacted into law.
