H4750 replaces the term “paternity” with “parentage” and “child born out of wedlock” with “nonmarital child” to create more “inclusive” language. Additionally, it replaces the phrase “a mother and father” with “parents.”
The Massachusetts States House of Representatives passed H4750 on June 12, 2024 by a vote of 156 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill conforms to the woke leftist culture that focuses on virtue signaling and political correctness.
