Bill Summary
This bill expands criteria for a court's consideration of grandparent visitation.
AI Summary
This bill expands the criteria that courts must consider when determining grandparent visitation rights by adding new conditions for establishing a significant relationship with the child, such as living with the grandparent for at least six months, acting as a primary caregiver for at least six months, or having had regular visitation for at least 12 months, and also clarifies that changes in contact frequency due to a parent's noncompliance with a prior visitation order do not constitute changed circumstances for modifying or terminating an order.
