Bill > HF422

This bill modifies grandparent visitation rights in Minnesota. It amends the existing law (Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 257C.08) to remove the requirement that visitation rights must not interfere with the parent-child relationship. The bill also changes the criteria for granting visitation rights, including considering the amount of personal contact between the grandparent and child prior to the application. Additionally, the bill repeals a provision that required the court to hold a hearing to determine if visitation would interfere with the parent-child relationship before denying visitation rights.
