An act relating to the procedures governing the change of a minor’s legal name
H 514 proposes to amend the procedures for a minor to legally change their name. The bill aims to update the statutes governing vital records and court instruments used for such changes. Its key provision would allow a minor to change their legal name with the consent of one parent or guardian, rather than requiring consent from both. This bill directly affects minors seeking a name change and their parents or guardians.
