What’s in it

This bill replaces the term “visitation” with the term “parenting time” relative to the rights awarded a parent to spend time with the parent’s child. The bill does not replace references to “visitation” in other contexts including the contexts of sibling visitation and grandparent or great-grandparent visitation.
