SB 649 - This act modifies the law relating to the Putative
Father Registry. Lack of knowledge of a pregnancy does not
excuse the failure to timely file with the State Registrar.
However, a man's consent to an adoption is not waived by the
failure to file with the State Registrar if there was fraud or
misrepresentation. Upon the discovery of the fraud or
misrepresentation, the man shall have fifteen days to file.
Pamphlets and publications regarding the Putative Father Registry
must include the specific statements contained in Section
192.016, RSMo.
