N.Y. bill would replace 'mother,' 'father' with gender-neutral terms
The measure rewrites family-court and education law with gender-neutral terms, and Gov. Kathy Hochul has 10 days to decide whether to sign it.
- On Tuesday, the New York State Senate passed Bill S9316 in a 38-23 vote, replacing terms like "mother" and "father" with "gestating parent" and "non-gestating parent" across state statutes.
- Sponsors framed the legislation as modernizing family-law terminology to align state statutes with contemporary family structures. The bill replaces "paternity" with "parentage" and "putative father" with "alleged parent" across relevant laws.
- Republican lawmakers opposed the measure, with New York Bruce Blakeman calling it a "declaration of war on New York families." Blakeman vowed the "insanity ends when I" become Governor.
- Governor Hochul has 10 days to sign or veto the measure, stating she is "not familiar" with its content and will "take a look at it" before deciding.
- If signed into law, changes take effect November 1, continuing state-level adoption of gender-neutral language in the Empire State and reflecting prior recognition measures.
