SB 30-23: KANYE Act (Awaiting Sponsor)

[Esteemed Jimmy]

The wording in section 2 needs to be cleared up. Do both biological parents and adoptive parents of a child get $2500? And how does this work when one of the parents isn’t known or if they aren’t legally married (is it split equally between both)? I’d also think it’s a good idea to include a section about the $2500 having to be paid back if custody is lost due to conviction of abuse or neglect. Also I find the part about it being paid in cash unnecessary.

I am still not convinced this is the best idea. I don't want to see reckless teenagers having children because they think they can get a couple thousand bucks.

Hm? 2500 is a paltry sum even compared to the general annual cost of raising a child…

Of course it is, but that's why I focused on a group that is widely known for their less-than-adequate long term thinking abilities (although many of the younger people here demonstrate otherwise, I grew up around enough people that would be candidates for the scenario I presented).

I have to agree with this.
