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
