NCFM Member Naomi Evans second update on paternity fraud reform legislation in Washington

February 15, 2015

He’s free…finally free!

Paternity fraud reform legislation has a good chance of succeeding in the State of Washington. Please help.

February 14^th, 2015 Update on Washington Legislation to Stop Paternity Fraud; House Bill (HB 1524) and Senate Bill (SB 5006).

The Washington 2015 Legislature holds a great opportunity for citizen activists and victims to come together and support two cloned bills that will help relieve victims of Paternity Fraud.

Senate Bill (SB 5006) re: Non Genetic Paternity Disestablishment; introduced by Senator Jan Angel has now had a public hearing in the Senate Law and Justice Committee, followed by an adoption of a substitute bill and was voted to pass through committee and was then referred to the Senate Ways and Means Committee where it is still awaiting a vote of passage.

There are two deadlines SB 5006 needs to meet. The Ways and Means Committee has until February 27^th to pass this bill out of their committee as well as the bill must be voted on the Senate floor by March 11th.

As for its companion bill HB 1524 sponsored by Representative Michelle Caldier; the House Judiciary Committee has recently scheduled a public hearing on Tuesday February 17^th, 2015 at 10:00 am at the Olympia Capital in the John L O’Brien building, Hearing Rm. A

This public hearing comes just three days before the February 20^th deadline to pass this bill out of the House Judiciary Committee.

Time is short indeed, and although it may seem daunting at times, I believe there are many good signs pointing to these bills picking up steam.

Thanks to many people who have taken action on this issue by emailing respective legislators, we are making this issue one of significance!

I would like to ask anyone in Washington State who is willing and able to join our group of victims/supporters for the public hearing on Tuesday February 17^th. We are hoping to have as many live bodies as possible to wear our “Stop Paternity Fraud” t-shirts and to either give personal testimony, or to simply “stand in” support of this issue.

The House is the primary place that a large presence of support must be shown due to its history of not supporting this legislation for fear of back lash from the Division of Social and Health Services regarding Title IV-D funds, and although it appears DSHS has come to some kind of compromise with the Senate Bill 5006 within the substitute bill, we still need all the help we can get.

Now is the time to rally together and to push these Legislators one step closer to our freedom.

Please help us make history this year in our efforts to end Paternity Fraud in Washington State by:

Join us at the Olympia Capital on Tuesday February 17^th at 10:00 am for the public hearing.

Paternity fraud is awful. It’s unbelievable that in America, the land of the free, our elected leaders chose to allow innocent men too be deprived of their liberties so the leaders can keep their states’ head buried in the federal feed bag.
