AI Summary
This bill prohibits the court from granting visitation rights to parents who have been convicted of sexual abuse or other crimes against children, as defined in Chapters 265 and 272 of the Massachusetts General Laws. The only exception is if the child is of suitable age and consents to the visitation, and a guardian ad litem (a court-appointed representative of the child's interests) determines that the visitation is in the best interest of the child.
