Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends multiple Family Code sections to expand protections against custody, visitation, or parental rights for perpetrators of sexual assault resulting in a child's conception or birth within 300 days. It adds consideration of conception-by-abuse to best-interest factors, creates rebuttable and conclusive presumptions of detriment or unfitness, allows paternity challenges at any time, and authorizes termination proceedings. These changes restrict the rights of the less-custodial or paying parent (or alleged father) in disputes between parents.
