Bill Summary

Relative to repealing the legal parentage equality act. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to completely repeal Chapter 166 of the Acts of 2024, which appears to be the Legal Parentage Equality Act. While the specific details of Chapter 166 are not provided in the bill text, the government summary suggests it is a family law statute that the legislature now seeks to eliminate entirely. By repealing the entire chapter, all provisions, definitions, and legal mechanisms established by the original act would be removed from Massachusetts law. The bill is straightforward in its intent, using simple language to indicate a wholesale revocation of the previous legislative act, without offering any alternative provisions or modifications to the existing law.
