Summary

The bill would let a parent in a divorce, separation, or custody case request an emergency order without notice when a child faces immediate risk, and require a hearing within 21 days to decide if the temporary relief should continue. It also adds a factor for courts to consider past willful misuse of emergency orders and directs a commission‑led working group to study the new process. The measure failed to pass and died in the Senate.
