Persons with legitimate interest; parent whose rights have previously been terminated, custody, etc.

Removed the 'House Substitute' header, bill tracking number, and committee attribution details.

Added the 'Enrolled' header, official chapter title, and approval status to finalize the bill for the Governor.

Added a new category of 'person with a legitimate interest' to include parents whose rights were previously terminated, but only if the child is at least 14, has been adopted, the adoptive parents have died or lost custody, and the former parent has maintained a positive relationship with the child.

Modified the definition of 'person with a legitimate interest' in multiple sections to explicitly allow terminated parents to petition for custody or visitation under the new eligibility criteria, overriding previous exclusions.

Added new jurisdictional provisions allowing juvenile courts to hear petitions from parents with terminated rights regarding custody and visitation, which were previously restricted to natural or adoptive parents.

Added requirements for former parents seeking reinstatement to have complied with post-adoption contact agreements and maintained a continuous relationship with the child since the termination of their rights.
