California AB1195 aims to facilitate visitation between incarcerated parents and their dependent children.

California AB1195 seeks to ensure that incarcerated parents can maintain connections with their dependent children through visitation. The bill mandates that courts order regular visitation between incarcerated parents and their children, unless it is deemed detrimental to the child's well-being. If in-person visits are not feasible due to logistical or safety concerns, the bill allows for videoconferencing or telephonic communication. It also requires county jails to facilitate these visits and ensures that child welfare agencies coordinate with jails to maintain visitation schedules.
