Grandparents rights in Tennessee could be approved

Tennessee judges may soon have legal authority to grant visitation rights to grandparents fighting to see their grandchildren and that’s a first for the state.

Both the House and the Senate passed the grandparents rights bill. It now sits on Governor Haslam’s desk.

It’s sponsored by Johnson City Republican Senator Rusty Crowe. Among other things, the measure calls for the court to consider whether parents are depriving a grandparent of the chance to visit a child.
