parenting time; neutral exchange location
HB 2432 requires Arizona sheriff's offices to designate at least one parking lot as a "neutral safe exchange location" for child custody exchanges. These locations must have purple lights or signs, 24/7 access, proper lighting, and video cameras recording continuously for 45 days. The law applies to parents in custody disputes where courts determine safety concerns exist during exchanges, and it shields sheriffs and staff from liability for incidents at these sites. The bill updates parenting plan requirements to include specific exchange procedures and allows courts to mandate these safe locations when needed for child or parent safety.
