  • Establishes the "Cassie Carli Law" requiring each county's board of commissioners to designate at least one sheriff's office parking lot as a safe exchange location for child custody exchanges between parents.

  • Safe exchange locations must be accessible 24/7, have adequate lighting, continuous video surveillance with at least one fixed camera recording the purple light-marked area, and retain recordings for 45 days.

  • Allows a parent to refuse a scheduled custody exchange without penalty if they have reasonable cause to believe they face imminent domestic violence, use the nearest designated safe exchange location, and provide 3 hours notice to the other parent.

  • Requires courts approving, granting, or modifying parenting plans to consider whether ordering parties to use safe exchange locations serves the best interests of the child.

  • Provides immunity from liability for the county, sheriff, county commissioners, law enforcement officers, and safe exchange location employees for incidents occurring at these locations.
