SB1052 establishes procedures for appointing authorized representatives for individuals with developmental disabilities.

SB1052 amends Section 4541 of the Welfare and Institutions Code to outline the process for appointing authorized representatives for individuals with developmental disabilities. The State Council on Developmental Disabilities can appoint representatives to advocate for individuals who lack a parent, guardian, or conservator.

The council can also make contingent appointments and remove representatives for good cause.
