CA AB1674

Requires Judicial Council standards for supervised visitation providers to comply with new statutory requirements for professional and nonprofessional providers.

Mandates courts in domestic violence, child abuse, or neglect cases to consider the child's best interest when choosing between professional or nonprofessional supervised visitation providers.

Establishes that professional providers must be at least 21 years old, complete 24 hours of training covering child abuse reporting, family law, domestic violence, and other topics, and meet background check requirements including no DUI convictions in last 5 years and no probation/parole in last 10 years.

Requires professional providers to advise parties that no confidential privilege exists, report suspected child abuse, maintain case records, and suspend or terminate visitation if visit rules are violated or child safety is at risk.

Sets nonprofessional providers (unpaid individuals) to background requirements prohibiting convictions for child molestation or crimes against persons, proof of auto insurance if transporting children, and agreement to enforce court orders.
