|
| 4 | | Section 5. The Probate Act of 1975 is amended by adding |
| 5 | | Section 11a-5.1 as follows:
|
| 6 | | (755 ILCS 5/11a-5.1 new) |
| 7 | | Sec. 11a-5.1. Multiple guardianships. The court may not |
| 8 | | appoint an individual the guardian of the person or estate of |
| 9 | | an adult with disabilities before the individual has disclosed |
| 10 | | to the court the number of adults with disabilities over which |
| 11 | | the individual is currently appointed as guardian. If the court |
| 12 | | determines that an individual is appointed guardian over more |
| 13 | | than 5 adults with disabilities, then the court shall issue an |
| 14 | | order directing the circuit court clerk to notify the |
| 15 | | Guardianship and Advocacy Commission, in a form and manner |
| 16 | | prescribed by the Guardianship and Advocacy Commission. The |
| 17 | | clerk shall notify the Guardianship and Advocacy Commission no |
| 18 | | later than 7 days after the entry of the order. The |
| 19 | | Guardianship and Advocacy Commission shall maintain a list of |
| 20 | | all notifications it receives under this Section for reference |
| 21 | | by other agencies or units of government or the public. This |
| 22 | | Section does not apply to the Office of the State Guardian or a |
| 23 | | public guardian.
