1. (1)

   1. (a) An individual with a severe intellectual disability, or any person interested in the individual's welfare, may petition for an order:

      1. (i) that the individual is not an individual with a severe intellectual disability; and
      2. (ii) for removal or resignation of the guardian in accordance with Section 75-5-612.
   2. (b) The court may specify a minimum period of time, not exceeding one year, during which no petition for the termination of a guardianship for an individual with a severe intellectual disability can be filed without leave from the court.
   3. (c) A request for the order described in this Subsection (1) may be made by informal letter to the court.
   4. (d) Any person who knowingly interferes with a request described in Subsection (1)(a) may be sanctioned by the court.

2. (2) Notwithstanding Subsection (1), the authority and responsibility of a guardian for an individual with a severe intellectual disability terminates upon:

   1. (a) the death of the guardian or the individual;
   2. (b) the determination that the guardian is incapacitated; or
   3. (c) the removal or resignation of the guardian in accordance with Section 75-5-612.
3. (3) Resignation of a guardian does not terminate the guardianship until the resignation has been approved by the court.
4. (4) Termination of a guardian does not affect the guardian's liability for the guardian's prior acts or the guardian's obligation to account for funds and assets of the individual with a severe intellectual disability.
5. (5) On a petition to order that an individual is no longer an individual with a severe intellectual disability, the court shall follow the same procedures to safeguard the rights of the individual with a severe intellectual disability on a petition for appointment of a guardian under Sections 75-5-603, 75-5-604, 75-5-606, and 75-5-607.
