and Youth Affairs Rd 1 09-FEB-16 SYNOPSIS: Existing law does not specifically authorize an
adult child to petition for visitation with a parent or dependent adult. Existing law provides

also known as a conservatee, is responsible for the care, custody, control, and education
of the conservatee, unless the court expressly limits those powers. This bill would specify

child or relative of the first degree may petition for visitation...
