MS SB2750

Requires hospitals, birthing centers, and midwives to provide mothers an opportunity to complete an "acknowledgement of matrimony and paternity" form at birth, declaring whether she is married to the child's natural father, married to someone else, or unmarried

Allows the biological father to be listed on the birth certificate instead of the husband when the mother acknowledges the child was born outside lawful matrimony or when scientific paternity tests exclude the husband as the biological father

Defines "mother" as the sole female who provides the ovum and "father" as the sole male who provides the sperm, establishing that every child has exactly one mother and one father under state law

Declares parental liberty to direct a child's upbringing, education, health care, and mental health as a fundamental right that government cannot substantially burden without demonstrating a compelling interest of the highest order and using the least restrictive means

Removes the provision barring paternity disestablishment claims when a child was conceived through artificial insemination during marriage, effective July 1, 2026
