§ 30:7b-8.
ARTICLE VIII (a) Nothing in this compact shall be construed to abridge, diminish, or in any way
impair the rights, duties, and responsibilities of any patient's guardian on his own
behalf or in respect of any patient for whom he may serve, except that where the transfer
of any patient to another jurisdiction makes advisable the appointment of a supplemental
or substitute guardian, any court of competent jurisdiction in the receiving State
may make such supplemental or substitute appointment and the court which appointed
the previous guardian shall upon being duly advised of the new appointment, and upon
the satisfactory completion of such accounting and other acts as such court may by
law require, relieve the previous guardian of power and responsibility to whatever
extent shall be appropriate in the circumstances; provided, however, that in the
case of any patient having settlement in the sending State, the court of competent
jurisdiction in the sending State shall have the sole discretion to relieve a guardian
appointed by it or continue his power and responsibility, whichever it shall deem
advisable. The court in the receiving State may, in its discretion, confirm or reappoint the
person or persons previously serving as guardian in the sending State in lieu of making
a supplemental or substitute appointment. (b) The term “guardian” as used in paragraph (a) of this article shall include any
guardian, trustee, legal committee, conservator, or other person or agency however
denominated who is charged by law with power to act for or responsibility for the
person or property of a patient.
