AN ACT CONCERNING THE USE OF "PARENTING TIME" IN THE GENERAL STATUTES.
HB 6154 changes legal terminology in Connecticut statutes by replacing all references to "visitation" and "custody" with "parenting time" when describing time a child spends with a parent. This bill directly affects legal documents, court proceedings, and state laws related to family court matters. It makes no substantive changes to parenting rights or responsibilities - only updates the language used to describe parental time with children. The bill is purely procedural, focusing on terminology consistency without altering any existing policies or outcomes.
