RELATING TO PARENTAGE.

HB 1193 repeals the outdated 1973 Uniform Parentage Act and updates state laws governing parentage by adopting key provisions from the 2017 Uniform Parentage Act. It directly affects parents, children, and legal entities (like courts and adoption agencies) involved in establishing or challenging parentage, including cases involving modern family structures. The bill clarifies legal parentage for children born via assisted reproduction, adoption, and other situations, replacing older language with current standards to ensure consistent legal recognition.
