Bill > S919

This bill, titled "An act protecting victims of sexual assault," proposes to amend existing Massachusetts General Laws, specifically Section 10 of Chapter 209C, which deals with child visitation. The key provision is the addition of a new subsection that would deny visitation rights and any contact with a child to a natural parent who committed a felony rape that resulted in the child's conception. This means that if a child was conceived as a result of a rape, the parent who committed that crime would not be allowed to visit or have any contact with the child. This change aims to protect children and victims of sexual assault by preventing perpetrators of such crimes from having access to children conceived through their actions.
