SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Social services; adoption. Adds an additional exemption from the requirement for the consent of the birth father for an entrustment agreement or consent to adoption if the birth father commits assault and battery against the birth mother while pregnant with the child and the entrustment agreement or adoption consent is signed by the birth mother within 24 months of the birth of the child. Current statute does not require the consent of the birth father if he has been convicted of certain other crimes such as rape and carnal knowledge of a minor and the child was conceived as a result.
