CA SB1021

Prohibits courts from restricting visitation between parents and detained children any more than necessary to ensure the child's safety and well-being.

Specifies that a parent's prior noncustodial status, lack of established relationship with the child, or other factors do not automatically justify supervised visitation requirements.

Requires courts to set forth frequency, duration, supervision status, and other terms for visitation orders at initial hearings.

Mandates courts consider specific factors when establishing visitation plans in foster care cases, including quality and length of parent-child relationships, child's age, nature of allegations, and flight risk posed by parent or child.

Requires visitation between foster children and parents to be as frequent as possible consistent with child's well-being, unless safety concerns or specific legal circumstances apply.
