AN ACT relating to posthumous name changes.

Summary

The bill lets a qualified family member change a deceased person's name if that name came from a marriage to someone charged with causing the deceased's death. The change follows the same court process used for living name changes, but spouses cannot request it. It targets families seeking to remove a name linked to a tragic criminal incident.
