during the one-year period following the date on which the
conservator files for the order; and

and
(2) takes effect on the date the conservator leaves
for military deployment, military mobilization, or temporary
military duty, provided that the military deployment, military
mobilization, or temporary military duty is ordered before the
temporary order expires.
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2019.
