Marriage; Deployed Parents Custody and Visitation Act; definition; visitation rights; emergency.
This document is not a legislative bill but rather a floor amendment to House Bill 2137, which means it does not establish new laws or policies on its own. The proposed changes aim to update the text of the original bill by adding "Space Force" to a list of military branches and changing a specific year from 2023 to 2024. These adjustments would affect the definitions and timelines within the Deployed Parents Custody and Visitation Act, which currently governs custody and visitation rights for military families. Since this is a procedural amendment rather than a standalone piece of legislation, it does not directly impact individuals or create new legal mechanisms.
