The proposed bill seeks to amend section 25-103 of the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding parenting time. It introduces new language that emphasizes the importance of promoting strong families while removing specific declarations about the best interests of children in relation to parenting time and decision-making.

Specifically, the bill deletes the previous statements that highlighted the necessity for children to have substantial, frequent, meaningful, and continuing parenting time with both parents, as well as the involvement of both parents in decision-making. The current statute's language that mandates courts to apply the provisions consistently with these deleted principles will also be removed. Overall, the bill simplifies the public policy declaration without retaining the detailed guidelines previously established for parenting time.
