Summary

The bill would set up a system to give back time lost when a child custody investigation into alleged abuse, neglect, or other issues turns out to be unsubstantiated. It affects parents or guardians involved in custody disputes who have to pause or slow proceedings because of such investigations. The goal is to lessen the burden on families when accusations are later found to lack merit.
