Grandparent Visitation Rights

Summary

The bill lets a grandparent file a petition for visitation if a child's parents are deceased, missing, in a persistent vegetative state, or if one parent is a convicted felon posing a threat. Courts would hold a preliminary hearing to see if there is evidence of parental unfitness or harm, and could order mediation before a final hearing. Visitation would be granted only if the court finds clear evidence it is in the child's best interests.
