Direction

Custody & support custody parenting timeAI label

Expands rights of the paying or noncustodial parent model confidence 90%

Allows the non-incapacitated conservator to automatically exercise the incapacitated conservator's periods of possession without a court order until the incapacitated conservator recovers or the court modifies the order, and treats incapacitation as a material and substantial change justifying court

if a conservator of a child becomes incapacitated, the child's other conservator, if another conservator has been appointed for the child, is entitled to exercise the incapacitated conservator's periods of possession of the child to the degree necessary to ensure the health and welfare of the child, starting immediately following the onset of the incapacitation

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill addresses custody and parenting time (possession and access) between parents/conservators in cases of one parent's incapacitation, allowing automatic temporary possession by the other parent (expands rights for the non-incapacitated/less-custodial parent in most cases) but denying it to a possessory conservator who was already restricted (restricts in that scenario). It also explicitly treats incapacitation as grounds for court modification of conservatorship or possession orders. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
