Extends the timeframe for guardianship hearings to thirty-five days.

New York Assembly Bill A08561 amends the mental hygiene law to extend the timeframe for guardianship hearings to thirty-five days from the date of the signing of the order to show cause. Previously, the timeframe was twenty-eight days. The court may still set a date less than thirty-five days if good cause is shown. This change aims to ensure that hearings occur within a reasonable period while allowing for flexibility in exceptional circumstances.
