A bill for an act allowing a court to grant a grandparent or great-grandparent visitation rights of a child in certain circumstances.

Summary

The bill changes Iowa law so a court can order grandparent or great‑grandparent visitation even when the surviving parent is fit to decide. It removes the current requirement that a parent be unfit or have impaired judgment for such visitation to be granted. This could expand access to extended family members after a parent’s death.
