What’s in it

AI summary This bill changes the word used to describe a parent's time with their child from "visitation" to "parenting time." It does not change the wording used for visits between siblings, grandparents, or great-grandparents.1

Read the official explanation

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.
