Introduced
by
To require the state to create a "responsible father registry” where a man can register who wants to be notified of an adoption or termination of parental rights proceeding for a child whom he may have fathered. He would have to register before or within 48 hours of the child's birth. This is intended to speed-up the adoption process, including reducing the time a birth-parent has to change his or her mind.
Referred to the Committee on Families, Children and Seniors
