MI SB1102

Adds requirement that courts appoint professional guardians for individuals with developmental disabilities in order of priority: certified professional guardians first, then non-certified professional guardians.

Prohibits courts from appointing the Department of Health and Human Services or other service-providing agencies as guardians unless no other suitable individual or agency is available, and requires such appointments to continue only until a more suitable guardian can be found.

Requires courts to make reasonable effort to question individuals about their preference for a guardian and consider that preference before making an appointment.

Updates terminology from "Department of Mental Health" to "Department of Health and Human Services."

Takes effect only if Senate Bill No. 1103 of the 101st Legislature is enacted into law.
