Bill Summary
For legislation relative to visitation rights of grandparents. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 39D of Chapter 119 of the General Laws to allow the court to consider whether a minor has a preexisting relationship with a grandparent when determining if visitation rights would be in the best interest of the child, even if the state has custody of the minor or a court has awarded temporary guardianship to a non-parent. The bill specifies that a preexisting relationship is not a necessity for awarding grandparent visitation rights.
