Bill Summary

The bill allows a court to order additional parenting time to a parent or legal custodian who was wrongfully denied court-ordered parenting time if the denial resulted from an investigation by a law enforcement agency, child welfare agency, or county department of human or social services and the investigation did not result in a substantial finding of abuse or neglect. The additional parenting time ordered by a court must be of the same type and duration as the parenting time that was wrongfully denied; may include weekend, holiday, or vacation periods; and must be exercised by the parent or legal custodian no later than 2 years after the date the court finds that parenting time was wrongfully denied.

AI Summary

This bill allows a court to order additional parenting time for a parent or legal custodian who was wrongfully denied court-ordered parenting time, provided the denial stemmed from an investigation by a law enforcement agency, child welfare agency, or county department of human or social services, and that investigation did not result in a substantial finding of abuse or neglect. The additional parenting time must mirror the type and duration of the time that was missed, can include weekends, holidays, or vacations, and must be exercised within two years of the court's finding that the original parenting time was wrongfully denied. This provision aims to compensate parents for lost time without creating new legal actions against the investigating agencies or automatically modifying existing parenting time orders.
