Provide for recognition and enforcement of parentage of children conceived by assisted reproduction

Nebraska's LB 1148 establishes legal rules for parentage of children conceived through assisted reproduction (like IVF or donor gametes). It clarifies that donors are not parents, while intended parents who consent in writing to the birth mother are legally recognized as parents. The bill requires written consent for intended parents to establish legal parentage, but allows courts to recognize parentage without it if clear evidence shows an agreement existed before conception or if the parties cohabited with the child for two years. It also includes specific provisions for cases involving divorce, death of an intended parent, or failure to document consent. The law creates a clear legal process for courts to adjudicate parentage disputes under Nebraska law.
