House Bill 1709 amends the Probate Code to provide a probate judge under certain circumstances the discretion either to enter immediately and without notice an order requiring a guardian or personal representative of an estate to provide a new bond as a condition for assuming the guardian or representative's duties or to order, by citation as required by previous law, that person to show cause why a new bond is not necessary. The bill requires the order to state the reasons for, the amount of, and the deadline for giving the new bond and authorizes a guardian or personal representative to demand a hearing on the order, to be held before the expiration of the deadline for giving the new bond.
