The bill amends Title 23 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to establish sibling visitation rights. It introduces a new section, 5325.1, which allows a sibling (the petitioner) to file a petition for visitation with a child who is their sibling. The court is empowered to award reasonable visitation based on several considerations, including the best interests of the child, the fitness of the petitioner, any previous attempts to visit the child, and whether there are alternative means for visitation without court intervention. The bill also specifies that the refusal of visitation by the individual with physical custody must be deemed unreasonable for the court to grant visitation rights.

Additionally, the bill defines key terms such as "petitioner," "sibling," and "visitation," clarifying that visitation does not equate to custody rights. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage. This legislation aims to ensure that siblings maintain their relationships, even in situations where custody arrangements may complicate direct contact.
