Grandparent Visitation Rights

Summary

The bill changes state law so grandparents can file a petition for court‑ordered visits with their grandchildren in limited situations, such as when a parent is deceased, missing, in a persistent vegetative state, or convicted of a serious crime. It sets out a step‑by‑step process—including a preliminary hearing, mediation, and a final hearing—to decide if visitation is in the child’s best interest. The measure failed to pass and died in committee.
