Requires a custodial parent who lives with a sex offender to provide that information to a non-custodial parent
This bill requires a custodial parent (the parent with primary physical custody of a child) to inform the non-custodial parent (the other parent) if the custodial parent lives with a registered sex offender. It directly affects parents involved in custody arrangements where one parent shares a household with a sex offender. The key provision mandates that the custodial parent must disclose this specific information to the non-custodial parent upon request or as part of standard custody communication. The law takes effect 90 days after enactment, creating a clear disclosure requirement without altering existing legal standards for sex offender registration or custody enforcement.
