Text
No person may be denied custody of, visitation rights with, or parenting time with a minor solely because the person is a cardholder. There is no presumption of neglect or child endangerment for conduct allowed under this chapter, unless the person's behavior creates an unreasonable danger to the safety of the minor. Nothing in this chapter supersedes or otherwise affects custody decisions, visitation rights, or parenting time based upon the best interests of the child.
