Guardians can seek authority over modest finances
Beginning June 23, 2025, a protected person with assets of $10,000 or less can request financial help from their guardian. The person or their legal representative can ask the Probate Court to give the guardian authority to manage those finances. The Department of Developmental Services commissioner or the commissioner's designee can also file the request. Requests must go to the Probate Court that appointed the guardian. Court approval is not automatic.
Trained staff can give residents medication injections
Beginning June 23, 2025, Connecticut law permits trained personnel to give certain care residents epinephrine or insulin by auto-injector. Residents must live in a facility licensed or certified by the Department of Developmental Services. The medication must treat an acute allergic reaction or diabetes. Personnel must complete the department commissioner's specialized auto-injector training. This permission excludes institutions and programs licensed under chapter 368v, Connecticut's health care institution licensing law.
