SB 36: AN ACT relating to parentage fraud.

SB 36 creates a new crime called "parentage fraud" in Kentucky law, making it a Class B misdemeanor to falsely establish someone as a child's legal biological parent with the intent to steal property or block the child's real parent from their rights, when the person knows or should know the claim is false. It directly affects individuals who commit such fraud, such as those trying to circumvent parental rights or financial obligations. The law explicitly excludes cases involving rape, incest, ongoing adoptions, or when the victim was the defendant's spouse at the time of the offense. Violating this law could result in up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine.
