LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES: Urges and requests the Select Committee on Women and Children of the Senate to study a parent's right to equal custodial periods with the child.

This resolution urges the Senate's Select Committee on Women and Children to study whether parents should have equal time with their children when feasible, referencing Senate Bill 267 (2024) which proposed related custody programs. It focuses on examining the potential benefits of equal custodial arrangements for children's well-being, while acknowledging concerns about parental alienation or interference with court orders. The study will involve input from child welfare agencies, legal advocates, and judges, but does not create new law or change existing custody procedures. The committee must report findings by March 2026, with no direct impact on current custody cases or legislation.
