EFFECT: This amendment clarifies that a person is the parent of a child when he or she consents to the assisted reproduction of his or her spouse or domestic partner, and not when they are in other relationships. This amendment removes the terms "person" or "couple" and inserts "spouse or domestic partner" or "couple in marriage or domestic partnership." This change is parallel to the current statute, which applies to married couples.
