Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill amends the Acknowledgment of Parentage Act of 1996 to include provisions for children conceived through assisted reproduction or surrogacy. It establishes that an individual who joins with the birth parent and acknowledges the child as their own can be considered a natural parent. The bill also outlines the requirements for a valid acknowledgment of parentage, including notarization or witnessing by a disinterested adult. The acknowledgment confers all the rights and duties of a parent, and the child has the same status as a child born during a marriage. The bill also addresses initial custody rights and the information that must be included in the acknowledgment form. This amendment takes effect 90 days after enactment, but only if the related House Bill No. 5207 is also enacted into law.
