SENATE BILL No. 1057

 

 

June 7, 2018, Introduced by Senator EMMONS and referred to the Committee on Families, Seniors and Human Services.

 

 

 

     A bill to amend 1939 PA 288, entitled

 

"Probate code of 1939,"

 

by amending section 60 of chapter X (MCL 710.60), as amended by

 

2006 PA 352.

 

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 60. (1) After the entry of an order of adoption, if the

 

adoptee's name is changed, the adoptee shall be known and called by

 

the new name. The person or persons adopting the adoptee then

 

become the parent or parents of the adoptee under the law as though

 

the adopted person had been born to the adopting parents and are

 

liable for all the duties and entitled to all the rights of

 

parents.

 

     (2) After entry of the order of adoption, there is no

 

distinction between the rights and duties of natural progeny and

 

adopted persons, and the adopted person becomes an heir at law of

 

the adopting parent or parents and an heir at law of the lineal and

 

collateral kindred of the adopting parent or parents. After entry

 

of the order of adoption, except as provided in section 2114(2)

 

2119 of the estates and protected individuals code, 1998 PA 386,

 

MCL 700.2114, 700.2119, an adopted child is no longer an heir at

 

law of a parent whose rights have been terminated under this

 

chapter or chapter XIIA or the lineal or collateral kindred of that

 

parent, nor is an adopted adult an heir at law of a person who was

 

his or her parent at the time the order of adoption was entered or

 

the lineal or collateral kindred of that person, except that a

 

right, title, or interest that has vested before entry of the final

 

order of adoption is not divested by that order.

 

     (3) This section does not prohibit the filing of an action or

 

entry of an order for grandparenting time as provided in section 7b

 

of the child custody act of 1970, 1970 PA 91, MCL 722.27b.

 

     Enacting section 1. This amendatory act does not take effect

 

unless Senate Bill No. 1056                                   

 

          of the 99th Legislature is enacted into law.
