Relating to regulating parental reunification therapy in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship.
SB 1830 regulates parental reunification therapy in family court cases involving parent-child relationships. It requires both parents' consent for a child to participate in such therapy and prohibits courts from ordering practices like blocking contact with other parents or family members, overnight stays together, or unsafe transportation. The bill also mandates that therapy providers must use written contracts detailing their protocols, signed by all participants after full disclosure. These rules aim to protect children and parents from potentially harmful therapy practices while ensuring transparency in service delivery.
