(1) The Uniform Parentage Act defines the parent and child relationship as the legal relationship existing between a child and the child's parents, and provides rebuttable presumptions as to the parentage of a child born under certain circumstances. The Uniform Act on Blood Tests to Determine Paternity provides the procedures for the use of genetic testing, as defined, to determine paternity. This bill would delete the name of the Uniform Act on Blood Tests to Determine Paternity and would revise and recast provisions relating to establishing a parent and child relationship to, among other things, refer instead to genetic testing and parentage. The bill would revise the presumptions and procedures for establishing and challenging parentage based on a genetic or nongenetic relationship with a child, including to modify the procedures for genetic testing for parentage. The bill would authorize the court to apply existing standards for awarding attorney's fees and costs in actions related to marriage and child custody and visitation to awarding fees and costs in actions related to determining a parent and child relationship. This bill would, beginning on January 1, 2020, modify the procedures and requirements under which a voluntary declaration of parentage may be established and challenged. (2) Existing law requires the State Department of Public Health to license and regulate tissue banks, which process, store, or distribute human tissue for transplantation into human beings. This bill would define gamete bank as a tissue bank that collects, processes, stores, or distributes gametes, including a facility that provides reproductive services. The bill would require a gamete bank licensed in this state, for gametes collected on or after January 1, 2020, to collect specified identifying information and medical information, as defined, from a gamete donor, to provide the gamete donor with specified information, and to obtain a declaration from the gamete donor regarding the disclosure or nondisclosure of his or her identity to a child that results from the donation, upon the child turning 18 years of age and requesting the information.
