Establishes a two-year pilot program to fund guardianship and conservatorship resources for those unable to afford them.

The bill establishes a two-year pilot program within the judiciary to fund guardianship and conservatorship resources in the first circuit's probate and family courts. These resources include investigations by kokua kanawai, guardians ad litem, and professional evaluations. The program aims to ensure these resources are accessible to all respondents, particularly those without sufficient funds. The judiciary will submit a report to the governor and legislature in 2026 and 2027, recommending whether the pilot program should continue, be made permanent, or discontinued.
