Amends TCA Title 36, Chapter 6.

Present law prohibits any person who is convicted of aggravated rape, rape, or rape of a child, from which crime a child was conceived from having custody rights or the rights of inheritance with respect to that child. Also, any such person is generally prohibited from having visitation rights with regard to the child unless the other parent waives the protection regarding visitation and requests that the court grant reasonable visitation rights with the child if paternity has been acknowledged. This bill adds aggravated statutory rape and statutory rape by an authority figure to the list of offenses for which the offender will be prohibited from having custody or inheritance rights with regard to a child born as a result of the offense, and for which any visitation will be conditioned on the other parent's waiver and request. Also, this bill makes the prohibition against custody and inheritance rights, and the conditions for granting visitation, applicable to a person who is originally charged with aggravated rape, rape, rape of a child, aggravated statutory rape, or statutory rape by an authority figure, but pleads guilty or no contest to a lesser included offense.
