Modifies and establishes provisions relating to the prevention of child abductions

HB 1660 updates the state's laws regarding child custody and abduction by defining key terms such as "wrongful removal" and "home state" to clarify when courts can intervene. The bill establishes a process for judges to issue emergency warrants that allow law enforcement to immediately take physical custody of a child if there is a credible risk of imminent harm or removal from the state. It also requires courts to check criminal databases for histories of domestic violence or abuse before issuing these warrants and mandates that a hearing be held within one judicial day after the child is taken. Additionally, the legislation sets rules for how courts communicate with each other across state lines and ensures that records of these communications are kept unless they involve routine scheduling matters. These changes primarily affect parents, grandparents, and other individuals involved in custody disputes, as well as the courts and law enforcement officers who handle such cases.
