Bill > HB39

This bill amends the existing law to establish a putative father registry in Alabama that records the names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and addresses of individuals who have been adjudicated as the father of a child born out of wedlock, filed a notice of intent to claim paternity, or acknowledged paternity. The bill outlines the specific information that must be included in the registry and the procedures for filing and revoking a notice of intent to claim paternity. It also specifies that the registry shall be kept confidential, except for providing information to courts and attorneys for adoption proceedings. The bill further states that individuals who fail to file a notice of intent to claim paternity within 30 days of a child's birth will be deemed to have given an irrevocable implied consent for adoption, and that knowingly providing false information or releasing confidential information from the registry is a Class A misdemeanor.
