Custody and visitation of a child; possession or consumption of authorized substances.

Eliminated the mandatory requirement for parents to attend a four-hour educational seminar on divorce effects prior to custody hearings, though courts may still require it for good cause.

Clarified that a parent's legal possession or consumption of substances authorized under Virginia's medical marijuana law alone cannot serve as a basis to restrict custody, visitation, or deem a child abused or neglected.

Updated the definition of 'incapacitated parent' in the grandparent visitation section to reference the specific state code for incapacitated persons, ensuring legal consistency.

Removed the proposed amendment to the general child abuse definition in Title 63.2, limiting the bill's focus to family law matters rather than child protective services definitions.

The list of statutes amended in the bill's preamble was reduced from four sections to two, removing the child abuse definitions section (§ 16.1-228) from the list of changes.

The bill header was updated from 'ENGROSSED' to 'ENROLLED', indicating the bill has passed both legislative chambers and is ready for the Governor's signature.

The bill number and session year were updated to reflect the final enrolled version (HB 942, 2026 Session).
