Vermont H0315 prohibits discrimination against parents with disabilities in family law proceedings.

Vermont H0315 aims to protect the rights of parents with disabilities by prohibiting their disability from being used as a reason to deny or restrict their parental rights and responsibilities. The bill mandates that courts make specific findings if they deny or limit a disabled parent's rights, and requires the provision of supportive parenting services unless it is deemed unreasonable. It also ensures that a parent's disability cannot be presumed to adversely affect a child's well-being and mandates consideration of the parent's role in the child's welfare.
