Guardianship order requirements for incapacitated individuals in Florida.

This bill amends Florida guardianship laws to ensure orders appointing guardians prioritize the incapacitated person's welfare and safety. It mandates that guardianship orders be the least restrictive alternative and allow the incapacitated person to make decisions commensurate with their ability. The order may identify persons entitled to notice of the incapacitated person's transfer to a medical facility and visitation rights. It also requires notice of a change in residential setting if the new setting is more restrictive.
