Introduced
by
To establish that if a court is notified that the person whom it determines to be the father of a child born out of wedlock has not filed with the “responsible father registry” proposed by House Bill 4659 in a timely manner, it may permanently terminate the putative father's parental rights. This is part of a legislative package designed to speed-up the adoption process, including reducing the time a birth-parent has to change his or her mind.
