The proposed bill would amend section 25-103 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by removing certain existing provisions related to the public policy on parenting time. Specifically, it would delete the declaration that absent evidence to the contrary, it is in a child's best interest to have substantial, frequent, meaningful, and continuing parenting time with both parents, as well as the requirement for both parents to participate in decision-making about the child.

In place of the deleted language, the bill would maintain the current declaration that the public policy of the state is to promote strong families, while eliminating the specific guidelines regarding parenting time and decision-making. This change would simplify the statute by focusing solely on the promotion of strong families without detailing the expectations for parenting time and parental involvement in decision-making.
