Family law: parenting time; reference to section 7b of the child custody act of 1970 in the probate code of 1939; modify. Amends sec. 60, ch. X of 1939 PA 288 (MCL 710.60). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4217'25

HB 4216 amends Michigan's Probate Code to clarify that an adoption order does not end existing grandparent visitation rights under the Child Custody Act of 1970. Specifically, it ensures that grandparents can still seek court-ordered visitation time with a child (as permitted by Section 7b of the Child Custody Act) even after the child is adopted. The change applies directly to grandparents seeking visitation rights that were legally established before the adoption was finalized. This policy update preserves existing court orders for grandparent visitation without altering the legal status of adoptive parents or children.
