Can anyone explain the rules about 2 family members having parental rights for a child?
My sister is with her grandma who has guardianship and my mother never gave up her parental rights. No one has custody of her. My grandma has let her come out of town to visit me her brother in the past now all a sudden grandma is trying to say that she isn't allowed to let my sister do that but then why did she do it before? Can anyone give reference to a law or guideline that says my sister cant visit us out of town?

First, you were pretty rude in your comment. Have you ever heard of please and thank you? People here are trying to help you, so stop sounding like a dictator.
On the rest, nobody here can guess what the situation is. Part of it is defined by state laws, and then the rest by court order. The only thing that's true is that legal guardians get to make all decisions on behalf of that child for as long as they remain guardians. It doesn't really matter if they've surrendered their parental rights, because the legal guardian always has final say.
So yes, grandma can change her mind about visiting at any time. But why haven't you asked grandma about this? It probably has something to do with your mom. In fact, is it possible your grandma said no because your mom said no? These are the people with the answers.

The legal guardian makes the rules about the child. Parental rights are superseded by legal guardianship.
