How name of person may be changed; sex offenders; probationers; incarcerated persons. Establishes procedures for name change applications from probationers, persons required to register as sex offenders, and incarcerated persons. The court is required to send a copy of the application to certain attorneys for the Commonwealth and to conduct a hearing. The court may order a change of name if the court determines that it would not frustrate a legitimate law-enforcement purpose, is not sought for a fraudulent purpose, and would not otherwise infringe on the rights of others. An order granting a change of name that fails to comport with the statutory requirements is void ad initio, and the attorney for the Commonwealth for the jurisdiction where the application was filed has the authority to bring an independent action to have the order declared void.

Sex offenders; requires circuit court to find good cause before accepting name change applications.
