Bill > SB924

This bill, the Maryland Child Abduction Prevention Act, authorizes courts to require parties in custody or visitation proceedings to provide advance written notice of at least 90 days of their intent to travel internationally with a child. The bill also allows courts to order child abduction prevention measures in certain child custody proceedings, either on their own motion or upon petition by a party with custody rights. The bill defines key terms, such as "abduction" and "child custody proceeding," and outlines the required content and procedures for filing a petition under the Act. Additionally, the bill imposes certain discovery requirements for divorced parents with foreign citizenship when requesting international travel consent from the non-traveling parent.
