What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, in an action affecting the family in which a minor child is

involved, a court may order one or both of the parties to attend parenting classes if

the court determines that it is appropriate and in the best interest of the child. This

bill requires the parties to attend parenting classes in an action affecting the family,

other than a paternity action, in which a minor child is involved. Under the bill, a

court may waive this requirement for good cause or if a parent has attended a

parenting class during the course of the action affecting the family or has attended

a parenting class within the six months preceding the filing of the action.
