The proposed bill would amend existing statutes related to parenting time by introducing provisions for safe exchange locations for custody exchanges of minor children. Specifically, it would allow courts to mandate that custody exchanges occur at designated safe locations if deemed in the child's best interest. These safe exchange locations could be designated by sheriff's offices or city police departments and must meet specific criteria, including accessibility, adequate lighting, and video surveillance capabilities. Additionally, the bill requires that each designated location be clearly marked and that sheriffs maintain a public list of these locations.

Furthermore, the bill would modify existing parenting plan requirements to include specifications for when exchanges must occur at these safe locations. It also provides immunity from civil liability for counties, cities, and law enforcement personnel involved in the operation of these neutral safe exchange locations. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the safety and well-being of children during custody exchanges by establishing clear guidelines and designated areas for such activities.
