Committee advances bill requiring conservators to report date of last contact with ward
Summary
Representative Clements's House Bill 1766 would add the date of a conservator's last contact with the person under conservatorship to the annual accounting; the subcommittee voted 6-0 to advance the measure to judiciary full.
Representative Clements told the committee House Bill 1766 would require conservators to state "the last time they saw that person" on their annual accounting so courts can ensure the fiduciary maintains reasonable contact. He noted the National Guardianship Association recommends monthly guardian visits but clarified Tennessee would not be imposing that standard.
After Clements' presentation and brief endorsement from Representative Alexander, the committee moved HB 1766 to judiciary full by voice vote; the clerk recorded 6 ayes and 0 nays. Members said the change is intended to increase court oversight of conservatorship contacts rather than alter who may serve as a conservator.
