HB730

Montana HB730 revises parenting laws to consider a parent's opposition to a child's gender transition not against the child's best interests.

Montana HB730 amends parenting laws to specify that a parent's opposition to a child's gender transition may not be considered against the child's best interests. It also mandates that a parent's support of a child's gender transition must be considered not in the child's best interests. The bill revises the relevant parenting factors considered by the court in determining the best interest of the child, including the child's wishes, continuity and stability of care, and developmental needs. The changes are effective immediately upon passage and approval.
