This bill prohibits courts from granting unsupervised visitation rights to parents who have been convicted of sexual abuse or other criminal offenses against children, as specified 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 advocate for the child) determines that the visitation is in the best interest of the child.
