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
