HB 260 Summary

• Allows guardianship and conservatorship proceedings commenced before January 1, 2020 to continue under the old laws (Title 93, Chapter 13) that would have been repealed, rather than being subject to the new Mississippi Guardianship and Conservatorship Act.

• Establishes transition provisions ensuring that pending court actions involving guardians and conservators maintain procedural continuity without being disrupted by the statutory replacement effective January 1, 2020.

• Applies only to cases that have not reached final disposition as of the bill's effective date; new cases and cases already finalized follow the new statutory framework.

• Preserves all prior legal actions and decisions made before January 1, 2020 from being affected by the legislative changes.
