Summary
To allow the parent of a mentally retarded child to seek guardianship of their child when the child turns seventeen years and six months old, instead of waiting for the child to turn eighteen to initiate the guardianship process. This would eliminate the time gap between the end of parental rights over the child and the beginning of guardianship supervision during which the child is not afforded legal protection.
Title
An Act Concerning Guardianship Of Children With Mental Retardation.
