A. A court of this State determines that neither the child, nor the child and one parent, nor the child and a person acting as a parent have a significant connection with this State and that substantial evidence is no longer available in this State concerning the child's care, protection, training and personal relationships; or [1999, c. 486, §3 (NEW); 1999, c. 486, §6 (AFF).]
