By Representative Klippert

On page 1, beginning on line 5 of the amendment, after "of" strike all material through "choosing" on line 11 and insert "a legal representative to assist them in effective communication and meaningful participation in the activities of the statutory entity if the member requires a legal representative in other aspects of their personal life. For the purpose of this subsection, "legal representative" means a parent of a person who is under eighteen years of age, a person's legal guardian, a person's limited guardian when the subject matter being addressed by the statutory entity is within the scope of the limited guardianship, a person's attorney-at-law, a person's attorney-in-fact, or any other person who is authorized by law to act for the member"

EFFECT:   Removes a provision that prohibits a member of a statutory entity from being denied the use of auxiliary aids, interpreters, communication partners, or other accommodations of their choosing to assist them in participating in the activities of the statutory entity, and instead prohibits a member from being denied the use of a legal representative to assist them in participating in the activities of the statutory entity if the member requires a legal representative in other aspects of their personal life.

Defines "legal representative" as a parent of a person who is under eighteen years of age, a person's legal guardian, a person's limited guardian when the subject matter being addressed by the statutory entity is within the scope of the limited guardianship, a person's attorney-at-law, a person's attorney-in-fact, or any other person who is authorized by law to act for the member.
