HI SB2301

Permits family court to award reasonable visitation rights to grandparents if denial of visitation would cause significant demonstrable harm to the child, provided Hawaii is the child's home state.

Establishes a rebuttable presumption that a parent's decision regarding grandparent visitation is in the best interests of the child, which may be overcome by evidence of significant demonstrable harm.

Requires courts to consider nine specific factors when ruling on grandparent visitation petitions, including the nature of pre-existing relationships, prior visitation history, financial support, and any family violence issues.

Requires that all living parents and child custodians receive due notice of the petition and hearing before any visitation order is issued.

Takes effect July 1, 2050.
