This bill amends Chapter 7, Title 32 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 32-717F, which establishes provisions for the restoration of lost parenting time when a parent's custody has been restricted, suspended, or supervised due to unsubstantiated allegations of abuse. The court is mandated to order the restoration of lost parenting time in such cases, and willful interference with this order can lead to enforceable remedies, including contempt and compensatory parenting time. Additionally, the bill outlines that a restoration plan must be created to ensure prompt recovery of equivalent parenting time while minimizing disruption to the child.

The bill also specifies that restoration of lost parenting time should occur without undue delay, and if a parent knowingly denies court-ordered custody or parenting time without lawful justification, the court is required to award compensatory parenting time equal to the time denied. The definition of a "restoration plan" is provided, detailing that it must include a written schedule for the timing, conditions, and process for restoring a parent's custody or parenting time. The provisions of this act will take effect on January 1, 2027.
