    Delegate Kathleen M. Dumais is optimistic that a bill she has introduced nine times, the Rape Survivor Family Protection Act, will finally pass during the upcoming legislative session in Maryland. The bill would allow courts to terminate the parental rights of individuals who conceived children through nonconsensual sexual conduct. Over the summer, Dumais met with the Maryland Bar Association to finalize the bill, and the Association has said it will support the bill's passage this year. Dumais invites input from others to build further support for the bill to pass when the legislative session begins in January.

    LOOKING FORWARD: Passage of House Bill


    Delegate Kathleen M. Dumais

    Good Morning to All!

    For most of you I presume it is sad to see summer come to an end; however, the good news is we
    are closer and closer everyday to reconvening the Maryland General Assembly on January 10th.

    Last year the Senate and House of Delegates introduced a total of 2,861 bills. We passed a total
    935! One bill however that I have sponsored nine consecutive times has still failed to pass: the
    Rape Survivor Family Protection Act.

    With the 2018 session of the Maryland General Assembly fast approaching, I invite you all to
    express your support and provide testimony so that this bill can finally pass and be made into
    law. This bill proposes to authorize a court to terminate the parental rights of a person to a child
    who was conceived in nonconsensual sexual conduct committed by said person.

    This bill will be the main crux of the session though I am confident it will pass as it has been
    receiving increased support. Over the summer I met with the Maryland Bar Association to ensure
    the bill is in good shape. The Bar Association has said it will support the passing of this bill this
    year.

    I am confident the bill will pass during this upcoming legislative session. Until then, I look
    forward to hearing from you all.
