*agreement must be executed by all parents with legal custody of 
*the child and must have the consent of every parent who has 
*court-ordered parenting time rights to the child.  As soon as 
*practicable after executing an agreement, a copy of the 
*agreement must be given to every child age 14 or older to whom 
*the agreement applies. 

*   (b) Consent of a parent required under paragraph (a) may be 
*given in writing or may be established by mailing a notice 
*regarding the designated caregiver agreement to the parent's 
*last known address.  The notice must include the name of the 
*proposed designated caregiver and inform the parent whose 
*consent is required that the parent's consent to the agreement 
*will be implied if the parent does not object within 30 days.  
*If the parent does not object to the agreement orally or in 
*writing within 30 days, the consent of the parent is implied."

  257A.02 Repealed, 2000 c 404 s 13 

  257A.03 Repealed, 2000 c 404 s 13 

*   NOTE:  Subdivision 2 was also amended by Laws 2000, chapter 
*444, article 2, section 10, to read as follows: 

*   "Subd. 2.    Notice to noncustodial parent; rights.  (a) 
*As soon as practicable after assuming care of a child, the 
*designated caregiver shall notify any noncustodial parent that 
*the designated caregiver has assumed care of the child. 

*   (b) Court-ordered parenting time rights of a noncustodial 
*parent continue while the child is in the care of the designated 
*caregiver, unless otherwise modified by the court.  A designated 
*caregiver agreement does not affect the right of a parent 
*without physical custody to bring a custody motion under chapter 
*518.  If a parent with legal custody is not the designated 
*caregiver, the parent may bring a motion for temporary physical 
*custody, which may continue until the parent with physical 
*custody is able to resume care of the child.  The court shall 
*award that parent temporary physical custody unless it finds it 
*would not be in the best interests of the child."
