The bill would make it a misdemeanor when a person commits parentage fraud.

Wow. Tons of money and hard work, your heart ripped out of your body, your dream of a family annihilated, your trust in humanity shattered for ever. Misdemeanor.

It's better than nothing I guess.

Can't read because the website doesn't confirm to EU laws, any transcript?

Defrauding a man out of a million or more to be a misdemeanor?

This should also apply to cases of women falsely claiming to be pregnant by a man, even if there’s no child.

Shit, I am in Europe and this site denies me access. But whatever the win, I am very happy for you. Justice Prevails!

The bill, known as HB0253 and SB0331, passed the state senate unanimously on March 20.

Please don't waste your time on this. I've been in this space for a long time. Unless it's passed both houses it means nothing. Legislators will often, intentionally, pass a bill in the house or Senate knowing full well it won't pass the other. This is specifically so articles life this can be made and sensors can claim "will I voted for the save-the-puppies act" or whatever.

Seriously, don't give it the time of day until it has always passed both legislative bodies.

A step in the right direction. The wheels of justice turn slowly.

I am not sure this is a win. It feels more like a loss to me. Under common law, fraud could always be pursued in the courts in a civil suit. Depending on the circumstances and severity of the offense, criminal charges could also be applied. It feels like Tennessee is attempting to remove paternity fraud from the danger zone for women.

first, here's a non-geoblocked version for those in Europe:

second, here's the actual law:

third, in the law exceptions are defined where the law doesn't apply:

The victim of the offense was the defendant's spouse at the time of the offense.

So wifes (aka the majority of cases) are excempt.

I wonder what the feminist have to say about this
