Florida H0607 amends the law to allow grandparents to petition for court-ordered visitation with a minor child if one or both parents are deceased, missing, or in a persistent vegetative state. The court must consider factors like the child's relationship with the grandparent and the potential harm of denying visitation. If the court finds the grandparent's petition valid, it may order visitation unless it would harm the child. The bill also mandates family mediation for unresolved disputes and sets an effective date of July 1, 2025.
