HB 1364 -- PARENTING PLANS

SPONSOR:  Bishop

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Judiciary by a vote of 17 to 0.

Currently, a joint parenting plan must be submitted by both
parties to a dissolution or modification action that involves
child custody or visitation.  This bill makes the filing of the
plan optional when the child is over the age of 18.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2005, FY 2006, and
FY 2007.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the bill is a good, common sense
clarification that parenting plans are not required for children
aged 18 or over.

Testifying for the bill was Representative Bishop.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
