REFERENCE INDEX TO ILLEGITIMACY LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES (In Effect January 1, 1919) 59 REFERENCE INDEX TO ILLEGITIMACY LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES. {In effect Jan, 1, 1919.] © PREFATORY NOTE. The following references to illegitimacy laws in force in the United States are arranged in two ways: First, according to a topical index, the States being grouped alphabetically under each topic; and, second, consecutively under each State. In the second grouping each reference is followed by a key word, indicating the subject to which it refers. The topical index has two main headings: The first, General and Status Legislation; the second, Support Legislation. The sub- topics—Adoption, Registration of Births, etc.—are those within the scope of which illegitimacy legislation is usually found. Although the specific references cover the provisions concerning illegitimacy only, they may be used as a basis for finding also the rest of the law relating to any given subtopic. For a few subjects the list of States is nearly complete; for example, the birth registration laws of 37 States make some mention of illegitimate births and are therefore cited, and in order to determine the total number of States having birth registration laws, the laws of only the remaining 16 jurisdictions would need to be searched. With a few exceptions, judicial decisions were not examined in connection with compiling these references. ‘ 61 TOPICAL INDEX OF REFERENCES. GENERAL AND STATUS LEGISLATION.

One of these States—Michigan—specifically makes provision for aid to “unmarried” mothers. In Massachusetts, New Hampshire, North Dakota, and _ Utah the laws apply to ‘‘all mothers,” but the conditions imposed as to character might exclude the mother of a child of illegitimate birth. Under the language of the laws of the other States listed it would seem possible to extend aid to the mother of a child of illegitimate birth also; restrictions as to character are imposed in these States also. In 26 States the mothers of children of illegitimate birth are not included. COLORADO...........-Revised Statutes 1908, sec. 558, as amended by Laws 1913, p. 694.
