Modifies grandparent visitation rights in Minnesota, allowing courts to consider personal contact history in granting visitation.

This bill modifies grandparent visitation rights in Minnesota by allowing courts to consider the amount of personal contact between the grandparents or great-grandparents and the child before granting visitation rights. Courts may not deny visitation rights unless it is determined that such visitation would interfere with the parent-child relationship. The bill repeals a previous provision that required a specific amount of personal contact before filing a petition.
