Per state law, parental powers can only be delegated for a period of up to six (6) months. After which, the parents would need to complete and sign a new form.

Providing consent to the child’s medical care and treatment, and
Providing consent for school-related matters.

While the agent can handle nearly any responsibilities regarding the child, they cannot consent to marriage or adoption of the child.
