An Act prohibiting discrimination against adults with disabilities in Family and Juvenile Court proceedings

This bill prohibits family and juvenile courts from considering a parent's disability or its manifestations as a negative factor in custody, parenting time, or child removal decisions, unless specific evidence proves harm that accommodations cannot prevent. It defines "disability" broadly (per the ADA Amendments Act), "adaptive parenting equipment" (e.g., tools to support parenting), and "supportive parenting services" (e.g., specialized training or interpreters). Courts must provide written findings if disability is considered, detailing the harm, its impact on the child's best interests, and whether accommodations could alleviate the issue. The law directly affects parents with disabilities navigating family court cases and requires courts to prioritize accommodations over assumptions about disability.
