Bill > HF4821

This bill modifies the visitation rights of unmarried minor children. It allows grandparents, great-grandparents, stepparents, or other individuals who have maintained a parent-like relationship with the child to petition the court for reasonable visitation rights, if certain criteria are met. The bill specifies the factors the court must consider in determining whether a parent-like relationship exists. Additionally, the bill repeals existing statutory provisions that grant visitation rights to grandparents and other individuals who have previously resided with the child. The bill is effective upon final enactment.
