We the undersigned want our legislators to say "NO"
to the proposed Bill # SB 576 called the 'Uniform Adult Guardianship and Protective Proceedings Act'.
This bill, if approved, would create broader juris-
diction for the probate courts and would deprive us, the elderly, the disabled and others the right to a defense of "deprivation of liberty" and our
due process rights would be altered or negated.
We, by signing, state emphatically, that we want to put an end to the proposal and/or acceptance of this bill that would rob us, the citizens, of our rights.
Therefore, we hereby pronounce our vehement opposition to SB 576 and entreat our legislators to defeat this legislation.
The increase in support has triggered a formal request for a meeting with the committee chair overseeing SB 576. We are currently drafting a brief that outlines the specific due process risks mentioned in this petition.

This is terrifying. My parents worked their whole lives for their independence and no court should be able to just take that away without a real fight.

Ridiculous. Stop trying to control seniors and disabled folks. We still have rights!

what happens to our due process rights then? seems like they are trying to slip this in without anyone noticing what it really means for us.

Total garbage bill. Fix the problems we already have before creating new ways to hurt honest citizens.

Do not pass this junk. We have enough trouble with the probate courts as it is without giving them even more power to strip people of their liberty.
