Bill overview
This bill modifies the Michigan Probate Code to clarify the rights of grandparents and great-grandparents seeking visitation time after a child has been adopted. Specifically, it ensures that the existing provisions in the Child Custody Act of 1970 regarding grandparenting rights are not affected by the adoption process. The bill aims to maintain access for relatives to spend time with adopted children, aligning the probate code with existing child custody laws. It is contingent on the passage of a related bill, HB 4217.
