Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Family Code §153.316 on general terms and conditions of a standard possession order in suits affecting the parent-child relationship. Changes expand the possessory conservator's (less-custodial parent's) options for pickup/return locations when the child is not attending school and adjust notification requirements, providing more flexibility and enforcement of parenting time. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
