Regards rape, sexual battery definition for parental rights law
HB 914 updates the legal definitions of rape and sexual battery specifically for laws dealing with parental rights. The bill clarifies that these terms refer to violations of state criminal statutes or similar laws from other states or foreign jurisdictions. It also defines parental rights to include parenting time and other responsibilities, while explicitly excluding the duty of financial support. These changes aim to ensure consistency in how serious sexual offenses are interpreted within family law proceedings.
