Part IV SUBSTITUTE DECISION MAKING, 12 VAC35-115-145
 
I urge you to add the option  for allowing a group of people (Microboard or Circle of Support) to be appointed by the court as a guardian or legally authorized representative to assist those individuals needing and requesting assistance. A network of support is critical to the quality of community-based care. All options must be on the table.
