Bill Summary
AN ACT RELATING TO DOMESTIC AFFAIRS; ELIMINATING THE REQUIREMENT TO FILE NOTICE WITH PROOF OF PUBLICATION; REPEALING SECTION 40-8-2 NMSA 1978 (BEING LAWS 1889, CHAPTER 3, SECTION 2, AS AMENDED).
AI Summary
This bill eliminates the requirement to file notice with proof of publication when petitioning the district court to change or establish one's name or the name of a child under 14 years old. Additionally, the bill repeals Section 40-8-2 NMSA 1978, which previously contained the notice and publication requirements. The bill allows the court to order all records regarding the petition to be sealed if the court finds that notice to one or more legal parents of an applicant under 14 years old would jeopardize the applicant's personal safety.
