Cal. Health & Safety Code § 416.17 — Conservatorship and Guardianship for Developmentally Disabled Persons is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
It is the intent of this article that the director, when acting as guardian or conservator of the person of a developmentally disabled person, shall maintain close contact with the developmentally disabled person no matter where the person is living in this state; shall act as a wise parent would act in caring for the parent’s developmentally disabled child; shall permit and encourage maximum self-reliance on the part of the developmentally disabled person under their protection; and shall work with regional centers and the person, to the greatest extent possible, to develop and implement less restrictive alternatives to conservatorship.
