§ 1761. Application of other provisions
To the extent that the context thereof shall admit, the provisions of article seventeen of this act shall apply to all proceedings under this article with the same force and effect as if an "infant", as therein referred to, were a "person who is intellectually disabled" or "person who is developmentally disabled" as herein defined, and a "guardian" as therein referred to were a "guardian of the person who is intellectually disabled" or a "guardian of a person who is developmentally disabled" as herein provided for.
When the context allows, article 17 applies to proceedings under this article as though its references to an infant meant a person who is intellectually or developmentally disabled and its references to a guardian meant that person’s guardian. ★
