"The Utah Disability Law Center and the American Civil Liberties Union of Utah say that the state established a two-tier guardianship system under legislation passed earlier this year that strips some citizens of certain legal protections.

Those protections include the right to an attorney, the right to a trial and the right to object to a guardianship, the plaintiffs write in their complaint. Opponents of the bill argue it also include sweeping powers for guardians to restrict an individual’s personal relationships, diet and media consumption."

Disability rights groups argue that a new guardianship law creates a two-tier system that strips people with intellectual disabilities of basic legal protections.

Under the FHA, landlords must allow accommodations or modifications if they help someone with a disability to use and enjoy their home and/or the common areas. You must obtain permission from your landlord before making any changes to your home or a common area, or if you want an exception to a rule or policy.

"Disability Law Center says the guardianship system implemented in July—a separate system from regular guardianships—allows state residents with significant intellectual disabilities to be “funneled in many cases into a system where the opportunity to mount a defense to a guardianship petition all but vanishes.”

A Utah disability rights group is continuing its fight against a state guardianship law designed for people with “severe” mental disabilities that the group says strips them of legal rights and protections.
