International Parental Kidnapping Grandparents' Right Act of 2000

Summary

International Parental Kidnapping Grandparents' Rights Act of 2000 - Amends the International Parental Kidnapping Crime Act of 1993 to expand coverage of the Act to include removal of, or retaining, a child (who has been in the United States) outside the United States with intent to obstruct the lawful exercise of grandparental rights. Defines "grandparental rights" to mean, with respect to a child, visiting rights granted to a grandparent, whether arising by operation of law, court order, or legally binding agreement of the parties. Makes it an affirmative defense that the defendant acted within (current law) and is in compliance with the provisions of a valid court order granting the defendant legal custody or visitation rights that was obtained pursuant to the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act.
