(P.A. 82-337, S. 16; P.A. 86-323, S. 12; P.A. 03-51, S. 11; P.A. 11-129, S. 20; P.A. 16-49, S. 14.)

History: P.A. 86-323 applied provisions specifically to “plenary” guardians; Sec. 45-335 transferred to Sec. 45a-683 in 1991; P.A. 03-51 substituted “person with mental retardation” for “mentally retarded person”; (Revisor's note: In 2005, a reference to Sec. 45a-668 was changed editorially by the Revisors to Sec. 45a-669 to reflect the repeal of Sec. 45a-668 by P.A. 04-54); pursuant to P.A. 11-129, “mental retardation” was changed editorially by the Revisors to “intellectual disability”; P.A. 16-49 deleted “of a person with intellectual disability” re guardians, deleted reference to Sec. 45a-684 and made a technical change.
