Expands the circumstances under which grandparents can petition for court-ordered visitation with a minor child over a fit parent's objection, by broadening the preliminary showing required and adding presumptions favoring visitation in certain cases.
A grandparent of a minor child whose parents are deceased, missing, or in a persistent vegetative state, or whose one parent is deceased, missing, or in a persistent vegetative state and whose other parent has been convicted of a felony or an offense of violence evincing behavior that poses a substantial threat of harm to the minor child's health or welfare, may petition the court for court-ordered visitation with the grandchild under this section if the minor child's parents are divorced or if one or both of the minor child's parents are deceased, missing, or in a persistent vegetative state.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends grandparent visitation statutes to expand the scenarios allowing petitions (including when parents are divorced or one is deceased/missing/in a vegetative state, with added conditions on the other parent) and introduces a presumption favoring visitation in cases of parental death liability. Per guidelines, easier grandparent visitation over parental objection restricts the paying/less-custodial parent's rights axis (here, the fit surviving parent's rights). No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
