TN HB2595

Courts may order additional parenting time to compensate a parent who was denied visitation due to false abuse or neglect allegations made intentionally by the other parent, when the investigation found no abuse or neglect

Additional parenting time must match the same type and duration as the denied time, may include weekends, holidays, or summer, and must occur within two years of the original denial

The affected parent may request specific dates for the make-up parenting time, provided it does not disrupt the child's school attendance or regular activities

No cause of action is created against the Department of Children's Services or other agencies, and sovereign immunity is preserved

Effective July 1, 2026, applying to visitation orders denied on or after that date
