Establishment of parent and child relationship; persons who have committed sexual assault. Provides that no parent and child relationship shall be established when a biological parent has been convicted of rape, carnal knowledge, or incest, or has been found by clear and convincing evidence to have engaged in such prohibited conduct, and the child was conceived of such violation or conduct. The bill further provides that a person with a legitimate interest in the child does not include a person whose interest derives from or through a person who has been convicted of or found to have engaged in such conduct by clear and convincing evidence. The bill provides that consent for adoption is not required of a birth father when such father has been found by clear and convincing evidence to have engaged in rape, carnal knowledge, or incest and the child was conceived of such conduct; under current law, such consent is not required when the birth father has been convicted of rape, carnal knowledge, or incest.
