Senate Author: Uresti |

Senate Bill 506 amends the Government Code to allow the Guardianship Certification Board to issue a provisional certificate for providing guardianship services to an individual who does not meet all of the qualifications required by law for obtaining certification but who possesses the qualifications required by rules adopted by the supreme court for provisional certification. The bill requires the board to establish qualifications for obtaining provisional certification and issue certificates to individuals who meet provisional certification requirements. The bill also restricts the guardianship services of a provisional certificate holder and permits the supreme court to adopt rules and procedures for issuing a provisional certificate that meet certain minimum requirements.
In addition, Senate Bill 506 amends the Texas Probate Code to clarify that "certified" includes holding a certain provisional certificate.
