Establishes rights for adoptive, foster, or guardianship children to visit their siblings post-separation.

The court must grant these privileges if it determines it is in the child's best interest. Adoptive, foster parents, or guardians must cooperate with these requests and any court orders. The Department of Children, Youth and Families and the child's court-appointed advocate must recommend privileges unless they find the child may be at risk. The act takes effect upon passage.
