G
ood
morning
,
I
heard
back
from
LS
C
and
they
have
a
few
questions
regarding
the
sibling
rights
bill
that
is
being
drafted
.
D
o
you
have
any
suggestions
regarding
the
following
questions
?
1. I
’m
not
sure
I
understand
the
scenarios
described
in
division
(
1)
(
a
)
and
(
b
)
of
the
provided
language
. B
elow
is
my
understanding
of
the
described
scenarios
;
please
correct
me
as
needed
:
a
.
The
child’s
parent
is
deceased
and
the
child
is
not
living
with
/
under
the
custody
or
guardianship
of
the
stepparent
who
was
married
to
the
deceased
parent
,
and
the
child
is
not
being
allowed
to
visit
the
child’s
stepsiblings
who
are
also
the
children
of
that
stepparent
.
b
.
The
child
has
siblings
and
/
or
stepsiblings
from
the
parents’
(
or
parent
and
stepparent’s
)
marriage
,
but
the
parents
have
separated
(
divorce
/
dissolution
pending
).
The
parents
are
living
separately
and
the
siblings
/
stepsiblings
have
been
split
up
and
are
being
denied
visits
with
one
another
.
2. D
ivision
(
2)
allows
a
petition
for
sibling
visitation
to
be
filed
by
“a
next
best
friend
on
behalf
of
the
minor
child
.
C
an
you
explain
what
is
intended
here
?
3. D
ivision
(
7)
(
a
)
refers
to
“the
Parenting
A
ct
.
C
an
you
clarify
what
is
meant
here
?
Thanks
!
