Summary:

Defines "parental alienation" and requires courts to consider evidence of such behavior in determining parental rights and responsibilities, decision-making authority, and guardianship of minors. The bill also expands the availability of "family access motions" to include allegations of parental alienation and establishes a 60-day timeline for court action on such motions.

The Senate amended the bill to add the substance of SB 480 (limiting prior authorization for physical or occupational therapy) and SB 498 (establishing the Children's Behavioral Health Association to fund child services through insurer assessments).
