Bill > H0514

This bill proposes to modify the legal procedures for changing a minor's name by allowing a name change with the consent of only one parent or guardian, which is a change from previous requirements. While the full text of the bill is not provided in the XML document, the government summary indicates that the legislation would amend existing statutes related to vital records and court instruments governing minor name changes. This appears to simplify the current process by reducing the number of parental consents required, potentially making it easier for a minor to legally change their name. The bill would apply to legal name changes for minors and would likely require the consenting parent or guardian to provide official approval through appropriate legal channels.
