An Act relative to parentage to promote children's security

This bill amends Massachusetts laws to ensure all children receive equal legal protections regardless of their parents' marital status, gender, or how the child was conceived. It replaces gender-specific terms like "man and woman" with "people" and updates references from "paternity" to "parentage" to include diverse family structures. The legislation also broadens the definition of a parent to include any person who gave birth, rather than just the biological mother, ensuring inclusive language across state statutes. These changes aim to modernize legal terminology and affirm that every child has the same rights under the law.
