IN RE: |
SB1936 by Hughes (Relating to the beginning and ending possession times in certain standard possession orders in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend the Family Code to provide, in certain suits affecting the parent-child relationship, that if the possessory conservator resides less than 50 miles from the child's primary residence, the court must alter the standard possession order under Family Code Sections 153.312, 153.314, and 153.315 to provide that the conservator has the right to possession of the child as if the conservator has made the elections for alternative beginning and ending possession times under certain provisions of Section 153.317. The bill would provide that a possessory conservator may decline any of the alternative beginning and ending possession times provided in the bill in a written document filed with the court or through an oral statement made in open court on the record.
Based on information provided by the Office of Court Administration, no significant fiscal impact to the state court system is anticipated as a result from implementing the provisions of the bill.
