Bill Summary
A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to civil procedure; to amend section 25-21,271, Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024; to change notice requirements for petitions to change an individual's name; and to repeal the original section.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law regarding name change petitions by altering the notice requirements for publication. Previously, individuals 19 or older had to publish notice for four consecutive weeks, while those under 19 published for two consecutive weeks. This bill removes those age-based distinctions and requires notice to be published once a week for two consecutive weeks for all petitioners, unless the court waives this requirement due to safety concerns. The bill also retains provisions for notifying noncustodial parents of minors and for sending name-change orders to state agencies for specific uses, such as those related to child welfare and sex offender registration.
