2004 House Bill 5466 ↩

House Roll Call 72: Passed

To extend the maximum duration of a power of attorney delegating parental powers to another person in cases where the parent is a member of the military on active overseas service. Under current law, the maximum duration of a power of attorney delegating the care, custody, or property of a minor child is six months. The bill would establish that a military parent need not renew the power of attorney while on active overseas duty until the thirty-first day after the end of the deployment.
