This bill establishes legal procedures for post-termination visitation and contact orders between a child and the child's parent after parental rights have been terminated. Post-termination visitation refers to situations where a parent's legal rights to custody or guardianship have been ended, but the court may allow ongoing contact or visitation. The bill creates formal procedures for how these visitation and contact orders can be established. The bill also establishes procedures for how such orders can be modified if circumstances change. Specific details about who may petition for such orders, the factors courts must consider, and what visitation arrangements are permitted are not included in the available summary.

AI-generated plain-language summary of the bill (from the OpenStates abstract — no full text available yet) — neutral, and may be imperfect.
