## Bill overview: provisions PRIA read

- Voting rights under guardianship: benefit, low. A person under limited guardianship can petition for a hearing about voting. A judicial officer can decide whether the person understands voting. The officer must find by clear and convincing evidence that the person can exercise the right to vote.
- Trust rules for combining and dividing: mixed, low. For trusts covered by the Arizona Trust Code, default rules govern when trusts are combined or divided, unless the trust terms say otherwise. The law uses “combinations” instead of “mergers.” These rules can affect trustees’ duties and powers, but the law states no specific financial gain or cost.
