Kansas HB2536 requires proposed guardians for adults with cognitive impairments or neurological conditions to complete approved training before.

Kansas HB2536 mandates that proposed guardians for adults with cognitive impairments or neurological conditions complete a training program approved by the secretary for aging and disability services. The training must cover common aspects of normal aging, warning signs of Alzheimer's disease and dementia, effective communication strategies, and resources for supporting these adults in exercising their rights. The secretary maintains a list of approved programs for use by courts and proposed guardians. The court may waive the training requirement in the best interest of the respondent.
