            Senate Bill 1236 amends the Human Resources Code to authorize a probate or statutory or constitutional county court with probate jurisdiction over an elderly or disabled person under an emergency order for protective services, after notice and a hearing, to extend the order for a period of not more than 30 days after the date the original order would have expired, rather than the date the original order was rendered, and to specify that such authorization does not apply to an order that terminated because of a physician's opinion in a medical report of an assessment of the elderly or disabled person's health status.
