Overview
This bill aims to provide compensation to parents whose court-ordered parenting time is disrupted due to investigations into unsubstantiated allegations of child abuse, neglect, or other issues. If a parent applies, a court can order additional parenting time to make up for the lost time. The additional time must be similar to the denied time and occur within two years of the denial, with the parent having the option to choose the specific dates and times, as long as it’s in the child’s best interest. The bill also clarifies that it does not create liability for investigative agencies or government entities.
