How was GAL board established?
In 1999 legislation was passed creating a committee to study the issues regarding the procedures and standards for selection and supervision of court appointed guardians ad litem. The final report from this committee recommended establishing a free standing board to oversee the credentialing, activities, and discipline of guardians ad litem appointed in New Hampshire. In 2000 legislation was passed which created this board. The statute was revised in 2002, 2004 and 2006 to clarify the duties and authority of the board.
