Illinois Representative David Harris Introduces FALK~NASGA wards'/human rights visitation legislation in the 2016 Legislative Session
LEGISLATION 2016:
Illinois Representative David Harris (R) 53rd District Sponsor and Chief Co-Sponsor Representative Patricia R. Bellock (R) 47th District of Adult GUARDIANSHIP-PERSONAL RIGHTS
NASGA strongly and enthusiastically supports House Bill 4569 introduced by Rep. Harris.
Editor's note: Yes, this is a step in the right direction, however, in the corrupt environment of the Probate Court of Cook County this well meaning law is negated. "...a guardian of the person of a disabled adult is specifically authorized by court order..." Judges in the Estate of Alice R. Gore restricted visitation of Alice's daughter and also placed Alice 40 miles away from her daughter. When you have crooks running the system, the laws are bent for the benefit of the court parasites. Lucius Verenus, Schoolmaster, ProbateSharks.com
Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Probate Act of 1975. Provides that unless a guardian of the person of a disabled adult is specifically authorized by court order, the guardian may not restrict a ward's right of communication, visitation, or interaction with other persons, including the right to receive visitors, telephone calls, or personal mail. Provides that if a ward is incapacitated and unable to express consent to communication, visitation, or interaction with a person due to a physical or mental condition, then consent of the incapacitated ward may be presumed based on the incapacitated ward's prior relationship history with the person.

NASGA is grateful to Rep. David Harris, Rep. Patricia Bellock and Rep. Michael Tryon’s commitment to the FALK~NASGA wards'/human rights visitation legislation.
We applaud Rep. David Harris’ ongoing dedication and legislative actions on behalf of the elderly and disabled of Illinois, the voiceless victims of a growing number of unlawful and abusive guardianships.
