2. Scope of Act.
a. P.L.2012, c.36 (C.3B:12B-1 et al.) governs the exercise of jurisdiction over guardianship or protective orders, as those terms are defined in P.L.2012, c.36 (C.3B:12B-1 et al.), when there are interstate conflicts or uncertainty regarding whether a court of this State or a court of another state should act. The act establishes uniform procedures that are intended to be used to facilitate proceedings between courts in different states and to resolve uncertainty about appropriate jurisdiction.
b. P.L.2012, c.36 (C.3B:12B-1 et al.) is not intended to and does not alter substantive law pertaining to guardianship, conservatorship and protective proceedings, or arrangements and protective orders as defined elsewhere in Title 3B of the New Jersey Statutes or the original general jurisdiction of the Superior Court throughout the State in all causes.
