An Act relating to court-ordered compensatory visitation with a child; and providing for an effective date.

Summary

The bill adds a new rule that courts must order compensatory visitation for a parent or guardian if a scheduled visit did not occur while the Department of Family and Community Services was investigating an alleged abuse that is later found unsubstantiated. The make‑up visit must match the original in type and length, be scheduled within two years, and include safeguards for the child's best interests. It applies to any denied visitation after the law’s effective date.
