02:26 PM -- House Bill 09-1286

Representative Levy asked the committee to postpone House Bill 09-1286 indefinitely. The bill, recommended by the Colorado Commission on Uniform State Laws, repeals and reenacts the "Uniform Parentage Act", which is part of the "Colorado Children's Code." The bill updates Colorado law on establishing legal parentage of children to reflect modern issues such as assisted reproduction and genetic testing. The bill also provides further clarification as to the parent-child relationship, acknowledgment of paternity, statute of limitations to determine paternity, and guidance for the courts.

The bill applies to:

gestational agreements entered into on or after the bill's effective date;
civil actions related to parent-child relationships initiated on or after the effective date of the bill; and
offenses committed on or after the effective date of the bill.
