New York State Sen. Anthony Palumbo (R-New Suffolk) is renewing calls for the State Legislature to pass Karilyn’s Law, a bill that would allow people to visit loved ones under guardianship and conservatorship.
If enacted, the bill would prevent a guardian, care manager, or power of attorney from arbitrarily terminating visitation rights and isolating vulnerable individuals who are being held in involuntary guardianship. It would also provide for the ward or family members to be heard at an evidentiary hearing before the court within 10 days of bringing an application.
