155	155	to: adopting gender-neutral terminology and incorporating gender-neutral
156	156	marriage and parentage rights.
157	157	Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
158	158	Summary
159	159	This bill recognizes same-sex marriage by making references in the statutes
160	160	to spouses gender-neutral, with the intent of harmonizing the Wisconsin Statutes
161	161	with the holding of the U.S. Supreme Court in Obergefell v. Hodges, 135 S. Ct. 2584,
162	162	192 L. Ed. 2d 609 (2015), which recognizes that same-sex couples have a
163	163	fundamental constitutional right to marriage. The bill also recognizes legal
164	164	parentage for same-sex couples under certain circumstances and adopts
165	165	gender-neutral parentage terminology.
166	166	Same-sex marriage
167	167	The bill provides that marriage may be contracted between persons of the same
168	168	sex and confers the same rights and responsibilities on married persons of the same
169	169	sex that married persons of different sexes have under current law. The bill defines
170	170	“spouse" as a person who is legally married to another person of the same sex or a
171	171	different sex and replaces every reference to “husband" or “wife" in current law with
172	172	“spouse." The bill makes applicable to married persons of the same sex all provisions
173	173	under current law that apply to married persons of different sexes. These provisions
174	174	relate to such diverse areas of the law as income tax, marital property, inheritance
175	175	rights, divorce, child and spousal support, insurance coverage, family and spousal
176	176	recreational licenses, consent to conduct an autopsy, domestic abuse, and eligibility
177	177	for various types of benefits, such as retirement or death benefits and medical
178	178	assistance.
179	179	Parentage
180	180	In addition to making statutory references to spouses gender-neutral, the bill
181	181	specifies ways in which couples of the same sex may be the legal parents of a child,
182	182	recognizes that a transgender person may become pregnant and give birth to a child,

194	194	ASSEMBLY BILL 1000
195	195	and makes current references in the statutes to “mother" and “father," and related
196	196	terms, gender-neutral.
197	197	Under current law, all of the following may adopt a child: a husband and wife
198	198	jointly, a husband or wife whose spouse is the parent of the child, and an unmarried
199	199	adult. Because the bill makes references in the statutes to spouses gender-neutral,
200	200	same-sex spouses jointly may adopt a child and become the legal parents of the child,
201	201	and a same-sex spouse of a person who is the parent of a minor child may adopt the
202	202	child and become the legal parent of his or her spouse's child.
203	203	Under current law, if a woman is artificially inseminated under the supervision
204	204	of a physician with semen donated by a man who is not her husband and the husband
205	205	consents in writing to the artificial insemination of his wife, the husband is the
206	206	natural father of any child conceived. Under the bill, one spouse may also consent
207	207	to the artificial insemination of his or her spouse and is the natural parent of the child
208	208	conceived. The artificial insemination is not required to take place under the
209	209	supervision of a physician, but, if it does not, the semen used for the insemination
210	210	must have been obtained from a sperm bank.
211	211	Under current law, a man is presumed to be the father of a child if he and the
212	212	child's natural mother 1) were married to each other when the child was conceived
213	213	or born or 2) married each other after the child was born but had a relationship with
214	214	each other when the child was conceived and no other man has been adjudicated to
215	215	be the father or is presumed to be the father because the man was married to the
216	216	mother when the child was conceived or born. The paternity presumption may be
217	217	rebutted in a legal action or proceeding by the results of a genetic test showing that
218	218	the statistical probability of another man's parentage is 99.0 percent or higher. The
219	219	bill expands this presumption into a parentage presumption, so that a person is
220	220	presumed to be the natural parent of a child if he or she 1) was married to the person
221	221	who gave birth to the child when the child was conceived or born or 2) married the
222	222	person who gave birth to the child after the child was born but had a relationship with
223	223	the person who gave birth to the child when the child was conceived and no person
224	224	has been adjudicated to be the child's parent and no other person is presumed to be
225	225	the child's parent because he or she was married, at the time the child was born, to
226	226	the person who gave birth to the child. The parentage presumption may still be
227	227	rebutted by the results of a genetic test showing that the statistical probability of
228	228	another person's parentage is 99.0 percent or higher. Expanding on current law, the
229	229	bill allows for a parentage action to be brought for the purpose of rebutting the
230	230	parentage presumption, regardless of whether that presumption applies to a male
231	231	or female spouse.
232	232	Current law provides that a mother and a man may sign a statement
233	233	acknowledging paternity and file it with the state registrar. If the state registrar has
234	234	received such a statement, the man is presumed to be the father of the child. Under
235	235	current law, either person who has signed a statement acknowledging paternity may
236	236	rescind the statement before an order is filed in an action affecting the family
237	237	concerning the child or within 60 days after the statement is filed, whichever occurs
238	238	first. Under current law, a man who has filed a statement acknowledging paternity
239	239	that is not rescinded within the time period is conclusively determined to be the - 6 -2023 - 2024 Legislature LRB-5429/1
240	240	SWB:cjs
241	241	ASSEMBLY BILL 1000
242	242	father of the child. The bill provides that two people may sign a statement
243	243	acknowledging parentage and file it with the state registrar. If the state registrar
244	244	has received such a statement, the people who have signed the statement are
245	245	presumed to be the parents of the child. Under the bill, a statement acknowledging
246	246	parentage that is not rescinded conclusively establishes parentage with regard to the
247	247	person who did not give birth to the child and who signed the statement.
248	248	Under current law, the paternity of a child may be established by genetic testing
249	249	in an administrative determination of paternity or in a paternity action in court. The
250	250	bill changes the term “paternity” to “parentage” in the context of establishing the
251	251	parent of a child by genetic testing.
252	252	The bill defines “natural parent" as a parent of a child who is not an adoptive
253	253	parent, whether the parent is biologically related to the child or not. Thus, a person
254	254	who is a biological parent, a parent by consenting to the artificial insemination of his
255	255	or her spouse, or a parent under the parentage presumption is a natural parent of
256	256	a child. The definition applies throughout the statutes wherever the term “natural
257	257	parent" is used. In addition, the bill expands some references in the statutes to
258	258	“biological parent" by changing the reference to “natural parent."
259	259	Birth certificates
260	260	Generally, the bill substitutes the term “spouse" for “husband" in the birth
261	261	certificate statutes and enters the spouse, instead of the husband, of the person who
262	262	has given birth on the birth certificate at times when a husband would currently be
263	263	entered on a birth certificate. The name of the person who has given birth is entered
264	264	on a birth certificate when the person gives birth to a child, and current law specifies
265	265	when another name should be entered on the birth certificate. Current law requires
266	266	that if a birth mother is married at any time from the conception to the birth of a
267	267	child, then her husband's name is entered on the birth certificate as the legal father
268	268	of the child. Under the bill, if a person who gives birth is married at any time from
269	269	the conception to the birth of the child, then that person's spouse's name is entered
270	270	as a legal parent of the child. The bill also specifies that, in the instance that a second
271	271	parent's name is initially omitted from the birth certificate, if the state registrar
272	272	receives a signed acknowledgement of parentage by people presumed to be parents
273	273	because the two people married after the birth of the child, the two people had a
274	274	relationship during the time the child was conceived, no person is adjudicated to be
275	275	the father, and no other person is presumed to be the parent, then the state registrar
276	276	must enter the name of the spouse of the person who gave birth as a parent on the
277	277	birth certificate.
278	278	Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be
279	279	referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed
280	280	as an appendix to the bill. - 7 -2023 - 2024 Legislature

541	541	SECTION 16 ASSEMBLY BILL 1000
542	542	48.02 (5k) “Expectant parent” means a person who is pregnant.
543	543	SECTION 17. 48.02 (13) of the statutes is amended to read:
544	544	48.02 (13) “Parent" means a biological natural parent, a husband spouse who
545	545	has consented to the artificial insemination of his wife or her spouse under s. 891.40,
546	546	or a parent by adoption. If the child is a nonmarital child who is not adopted or whose
547	547	parents do not subsequently intermarry under s. 767.803, “parent" includes a person
548	548	conclusively determined from genetic test results to be the father parent under s.
549	549	767.804 or, a person acknowledged under s. 767.805 or a substantially similar law
550	550	of another state to be a natural parent, or a person adjudicated to be the biological
551	551	father a natural parent. “Parent" does not include any person whose parental rights
552	552	have been terminated. For purposes of the application of s. 48.028 and the federal
553	553	Indian Child Welfare Act, 25 USC 1901 to 1963, “parent" means a biological natural
554	554	parent of an Indian child, an Indian husband spouse who has consented to the
555	555	artificial insemination of his wife or her spouse under s. 891.40, or an Indian person
556	556	who has lawfully adopted an Indian child, including an adoption under tribal law or
557	557	custom, and includes, in the case of a nonmarital Indian child who is not adopted or
558	558	whose parents do not subsequently intermarry under s. 767.803, a person

4207	4207	SECTION 217 ASSEMBLY BILL 1000
4208	4208	765.001 (2) INTENT. It is the intent of chs. 765 to 768 to promote the stability
4209	4209	and best interests of marriage and the family. It is the intent of the legislature to
4210	4210	recognize the valuable contributions of both spouses during the marriage and at
4211	4211	termination of the marriage by dissolution or death. Marriage is the institution that
4212	4212	is the foundation of the family and of society. Its stability is basic to morality and
4213	4213	civilization, and of vital interest to society and the state. The consequences of the
4214	4214	marriage contract are more significant to society than those of other contracts, and
4215	4215	the public interest must be taken into account always. The seriousness of marriage
4216	4216	makes adequate premarital counseling and education for family living highly
4217	4217	desirable and courses thereon are urged upon all persons contemplating marriage.
4218	4218	The impairment or dissolution of the marriage relation generally results in injury
4219	4219	to the public wholly apart from the effect upon the parties immediately concerned.
4220	4220	Under the laws of this state, marriage is a legal relationship between 2 equal
4221	4221	persons, a husband and wife, who owe to each other mutual responsibility and
4222	4222	support. Each spouse has an equal obligation in accordance with his or her ability
4223	4223	to contribute money or services or both which are necessary for the adequate support
4224	4224	and maintenance of his or her minor children and of the other spouse. No spouse may
4225	4225	be presumed primarily liable for support expenses under this subsection.
4226	4226	SECTION 218. 765.01 of the statutes is amended to read:
4227	4227	765.01 A civil contract. Marriage, so far as its validity at law is concerned,
4228	4228	is a civil contract, to which the consent of the parties capable in law of contracting
4229	4229	is essential, and which creates the legal status of husband and wife spouse to each
4230	4230	other.

4261	4261	different sexes.
4262	4262	SECTION 220. 765.03 (1) of the statutes is amended to read:

4264	4264	husband or wife spouse living, nor between persons who are nearer of kin than 2nd
4265	4265	cousins except that marriage may be contracted between first cousins where the
4266	4266	female has attained the age of 55 years or where if either party, at the time of
4267	4267	application for a marriage license, submits an affidavit signed by a physician stating
4268	4268	that either party is permanently sterile or that the 2 parties are otherwise
4269	4269	permanently biologically incapable of producing a child together. Relationship
4270	4270	under this section shall be computed by the rule of the civil law, whether the parties
4271	4271	to the marriage are of the half or of the whole blood. A marriage may not be
4272	4272	contracted if either party has such want of understanding as renders him or her
4273	4273	incapable of assenting to marriage.
4274	4274	SECTION 221. 765.12 (1) (a) of the statutes is amended to read:

4276	4276	if there is no prohibition against or legal objection to the marriage, the county clerk
4277	4277	shall issue a marriage license. With each marriage license the county clerk shall

4279	4279	the dangers to a fetus from the mother's use of cocaine or other drugs by the pregnant
4280	4280	person during pregnancy.

4327	4327	by a county clerk not having jurisdiction to issue the same; or by reason of any
4328	4328	informality or irregularity of form in the application for the marriage license or in
4329	4329	the marriage license itself, or the incompetency of the witnesses to such marriage;
4330	4330	or because the marriage may have been solemnized more than 60 days after the date

5932	5932	NOTICE TO PARTIES
5933	5933	1. You are a party to a petition for paternity parentage. A judgment of paternity
5934	5934	parentage legally designates the child in the case to be a child of the man person
5935	5935	found to be the father parent. It creates a legally recognized parent-child
5936	5936	relationship between the man person and the child. It creates the right of
5937	5937	inheritance for the child, and obligates the man person to support the child until the

5942	5942	attorney. If you are unable to afford an attorney and you are a man person who is
5943	5943	named as the possible father alleged parent of a child in a paternity parentage case,
5944	5944	the court will appoint an attorney for you only if the results of one or more genetic
5945	5945	tests show that you are not excluded as the father parent and that the statistical
5946	5946	probability of your being the father parent is less than 99.0 percent. In order to
5947	5947	determine whether you are entitled to have an attorney appointed for you, you may
5948	5948	call the following telephone number .... .

5976	5976	3. The petitioner in this case has the burden of proving by a clear and
5977	5977	satisfactory preponderance of the evidence whether the man person named as the
5978	5978	possible father alleged parent is the father parent. However, if genetic tests show
5979	5979	that the man person named is not excluded as the father parent, and show that the
5980	5980	statistical probability that the man person is the father parent is 99.0 percent or
5981	5981	higher, that man person is rebuttably presumed to be the father parent.
5982	5982	4. You may request genetic tests which will indicate the probability that the
5983	5983	man person named as the possible father alleged parent is or is not the father parent
5984	5984	of the child. The court will order genetic tests on a request by you, the state, or any
5985	5985	other party. Any person who refuses to take court-ordered genetic tests may be
5986	5986	punished for contempt of court.
5987	5987	5. The following defenses are available in a paternity parentage case:
5988	5988	(a) The man person named as a possible father an alleged parent of the child
5989	5989	may claim that he the person was sterile or impotent at the time of conception.
5990	5990	(b) The mother may claim that she, or the man named as a possible father
5991	5991	parent or the alleged parent may claim that he, the parent and alleged parent did
5992	5992	not have sexual intercourse with the each other party during the conceptive period
5993	5993	(generally the period 8 to 10 months before the birth of the child).
5994	5994	(c) The mother or the man named as a possible father parent or alleged parent
5995	5995	may claim that another man person had sexual intercourse with the mother parent
5996	5996	during the conceptive period.
5997	5997	6. You have the right to request a jury trial on the issue of whether the named
5998	5998	man alleged parent is the father parent.

6187	6187	767.84 (4) TESTS EXCLUDING PATERNITY PARENTAGE; REFUSAL TO SUBMIT TO TEST.
6188	6188	Genetic test results excluding an alleged father parent as the father parent of the
6189	6189	child are conclusive evidence of nonpaternity that the alleged parent is not the
6190	6190	parent of the child and the court shall dismiss any paternity parentage action with
6191	6191	respect to that alleged father parent. Genetic test results excluding any male
6192	6192	witness from possible paternity parentage are conclusive evidence of nonpaternity
6193	6193	of the male that the witness is not the parent of the child. Testimony relating to
6194	6194	sexual intercourse or possible sexual intercourse of the mother with between the
6195	6195	person who gave birth to the child and any person excluded as a possible father
6196	6196	parent, as a result of a genetic test, is inadmissible as evidence. Refusal of a party
6197	6197	to submit to a genetic test shall be disclosed to the fact finder. Refusal to submit to
6198	6198	a genetic test ordered by the court is a contempt of the court for failure to produce
6199	6199	evidence under s. 767.87 (5). If the action was brought by the child's mother person
6200	6200	who gave birth to the child but she that person refuses to submit to a genetic test,
6201	6201	or refuses to submit herself or the child to a genetic tests test, the action shall be

6254	6254	parentage of a child, upon the motion of a party or guardian ad litem or the person

6989	6989	father of a child conceived. The husband's consent must be in writing and signed by
6990	6990	him and his wife if the person who receives the artificial insemination and the spouse
6991	6991	of that person consent to the artificial insemination in a written document signed by

7725	7725	(2) LEGISLATIVE INTENT. The legislature intends this act to harmonize the
7726	7726	language of the Wisconsin statutes relating to marriage and the determination of
7727	7727	parentage with the provision of s. 990.001 (2), which specifies that words importing
7728	7728	one gender extend and may be applied to any gender. The legislature intends that
7729	7729	by amending the statutes relating to marriage and the determination of parentage
7730	7730	with respect to married couples to use gender-neutral language where appropriate
7731	7731	so as to clarify that the same statutory rights and responsibilities apply between
7732	7732	married persons of the same sex as between married persons of different sexes and
7733	7733	to extend some of the presumptions of parentage to either parent, the Wisconsin
7734	7734	statutes will be better aligned with the holding of the U.S. Supreme Court in
7735	7735	Obergefell v. Hodges, 135 S. Ct. 2584, 192 L. Ed. 2d 609 (2015), which recognizes that
7736	7736	same-sex couples have a fundamental constitutional right to marriage. To the

7764	7764	extent language remains in Wisconsin law referring to one gender after the effective
7765	7765	date of this subsection, the rule of construction regarding gender under s. 990.001
7766	7766	(2) remains applicable, and it is not the intent of the legislature, except to the extent
7767	7767	necessary to conform to the requirements of federal law, to narrow to one gender the
7768	7768	construction of any provision for which an application to any gender would be
7769	7769	appropriate.
