AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend a statute concerning the removal of children, likely in the context of family court proceedings. The key provision is that a court can only order a child's removal if it finds that this action will directly benefit the child, and this benefit must outweigh any potential harm, such as the loss of regular contact with the parent who does not have primary custody. This aims to ensure that any decision to remove a child from their current environment is made with the child's best interests as the primary consideration.
