This bill amends the existing law regarding parenting plans by adding a new provision that specifically addresses the sharing of a child's images on social media. The new legal language inserted into RSA 461-A:4, II(f) states that parenting plans must now include an "Agreement regarding sharing of the child's images digitally on social media." Additionally, the bill makes adjustments to the numbering of subsequent provisions, changing the previous (g) to (h) and (h) to (i), while also retaining the existing provisions related to the relocation of parents and methods for resolving disputes.
The bill aims to provide clarity and guidance for parents in co-parenting situations regarding the digital representation of their children, reflecting the growing importance of social media in contemporary parenting. The effective date for this act is set for January 1, 2027, allowing time for parents and legal professionals to adapt to the new requirements in parenting plans.
