Dear Members of Children and Family Law Committee, It has been brought to my attention how HB 553 allows family court to proceed with parental fitness tests. Without conviction , this bypasses due process , forgetting the basic right of Americanism, that we are , “innocent until proven guilty.” A new term called “prettification” has been coined to stand for abuse , opening the door for psychological evaluation which will lead to parental rights removal becoming a racket for profit with no proof of wrongdoing. Please oppose HB 553. Kill it in Committee . Sincerely & Respectfully Merrimack Russ Payne
