In language requiring a person appointed as public guardian to be certified as a National Certified Guardian by the Center for Guardianship Certification within 6 months after his or her appointment, adds a provision that the language applies to a public guardian appointed by the Governor. In language stating that a public guardian may petition the court for the payment of reasonable and appropriate fees on not less than a yearly basis, or sooner as approved by the court, adds language providing that, in counties having a population of 1,000,000 or less, the public guardian shall do so on not less than a yearly basis, or sooner as approved by the court.
