Bill Summary
For legislation to protect survivors of rape and their children. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 3(a) of Chapter 209c to prohibit courts from granting visitation or custody rights to a parent who was convicted of rape or found by clear and convincing evidence to have committed rape, where the child was conceived during the commission of that rape. However, the termination of these parental rights does not prevent the court from ordering the perpetrator to pay child support or limit the child's right to inherit from the perpetrator.
