The bill contains many provisions legal experts say are likely unconstitutional, including one that says it can’t be challenged in state court.

        Only in very specific cases:

        For parents of a child, it is only a crime for these cases:

        Noncustodial parents; 
        Fathers whose paternity the government hasn't recognized; 
        Parents in active custody cases; 
        Parents with a court order requiring them to do so; 
        

        In general, though, you don’t need explicit permission to take your child out of state.

        For non-parents, it is only illegal if done for the following purposes:

        Transportation With Intent To Engage in Criminal Sexual Activity;
        Travel With Intent To Engage in Illicit Sexual Conduct; 
        Engaging in Illicit Sexual Conduct in Foreign Places; 
        Illicit Sexual Conduct in Connection With Certain Organizations; 
        Ancillary Offenses (to sexual misconduct);
        

        Attempt and Conspiracy (to those acts above);

        It’s weird that noncustodial parents are more restricted on taking kids out of state than random non-parental people.

          Presumably it’s because non-custodial parents are more likely to abduct their children than a random stranger is
