Makes various changes relating to parentage. (BDR 11-1081)
AB 424 modernizes Nevada’s parentage laws by adopting the Uniform Parentage Act, replacing outdated rules with gender-neutral language to clarify legal parent-child relationships. It allows parents to voluntarily acknowledge or deny parentage without fees (filed with the State Registrar), making such acknowledgments legally binding unless rescinded. The bill also grants gestational carriers (those carrying a child for others) full health care decision-making rights during pregnancy and permits courts to recognize more than two parents in specific cases. Additionally, it standardizes genetic testing procedures in parentage disputes and prohibits unauthorized sharing of genetic test results.
