SF 2053: Relating to the information required to be included in name change petitions
Died when the session ended · The 2022 session adjourned on May 24, 2022, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.
What it does
Current law allows a person who has attained the age of majority and who does not have any civil disabilities to apply to the court to change the person’s name by filing a verified petition and specifies the information that must be included in the verified petition. This bill removes the requirement that the petition includes the person’s height, weight, and color of hair and eyes.
