AI Summary

This bill, the Unborn Child Support Act, amends the Social Security Act to ensure that child support is collected and distributed for unborn children under the child support enforcement program. The key provisions include: requiring states to establish and enforce child support obligations of the biological father to the mother starting from the first month of conception, allowing for retroactive collection of payments, and prohibiting any measures to establish paternity of an unborn child that pose a risk of harm. The amendments will take effect two years after the bill's enactment and apply to child support payments starting from that date.
