Bill > HB2237

This bill amends the existing law on limitations in parenting plans. The key provisions are: 1. It defines important terms like "abusive use of conflict," "protective actions," and "sex offense against a child." 2. It outlines specific conduct by a parent that requires the court to limit their residential time with the child, such as willful abandonment, physical or sexual abuse, or a history of domestic violence. 3. It also allows the court to limit a parent's residential time if the parent knowingly resides with someone who has engaged in the specified harmful conduct. 4. The bill provides guidelines for the types of limitations the court can impose, such as supervised visitation, evaluation or treatment requirements, or complete restriction of contact. 5. It establishes a rebuttable presumption that a parent convicted of a sex offense against a child poses a present danger, and the court must restrict that parent's contact with the child unless the presumption is overcome. 6. The bill also restricts the use of mutual decision-making or dispute resolution processes other than court action if a parent has been convicted of a sex offense against a child.
