MS HB130

Requires courts to conduct a preliminary hearing upon conviction of rape or sexual battery to determine if a child could have been conceived from the crime, and transfer case information to chancery court if there is a reasonable chance.

Mandates chancery court to use genetic testing to determine if a child was conceived as a result of the rape or sexual battery, and automatically terminate parental rights of the convicted parent if proven.

Allows courts to order the convicted parent to pay reasonable expenses related to the child's pregnancy, labor, delivery, and care, and/or pay child support.

Establishes that children conceived from rape retain inheritance rights from the convicted parent, but the convicted parent and their relatives cannot inherit from the child through intestate succession or wrongful death claims.

Amends sections 97-3-65, 97-3-95, 97-3-101, and 93-15-105 through 93-15-119 regarding rape, sexual battery, and termination of parental rights procedures to conform with these provisions.
