Revise parenting laws involving the best interest of a child who is transitioning genders
HB 730 sought to revise state laws concerning the "best interest of a child" in parenting proceedings. The bill would have amended the factors courts consider when determining parenting plans, specifically for children who are transitioning genders. It stipulated that a parent's support for a child's gender transition "must be considered not in the child's best interests" and treated similarly to physical abuse. Conversely, a parent's opposition to a child's gender transition could not be considered as being against the child's best interests. This bill would have directly affected parents involved in child custody and parenting plan decisions.
