This bill establishes a framework for compensatory parenting time for parents or guardians who have experienced a denial of court-ordered parenting time due to investigations of unsubstantiated child abuse, neglect, or related issues. It mandates that the Superior Court, Chancery Division, Family Part, must grant additional periods of parenting time upon application, unless it is determined that such an order would not be in the best interest of the child. The additional parenting time must match the type and duration of the denied time and can include various time slots such as weekdays, weekends, holidays, and summer periods. These compensatory periods must occur by the second anniversary of the court's determination of the denial.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that it does not impose liability on investigative agencies or governmental entities or their employees in civil actions related to these matters. This provision aims to protect these entities while ensuring that parents or guardians are compensated for lost parenting time due to necessary investigations that did not result in findings of abuse or neglect.
