Note: 1997 Laws, Chapter 588, Sec. 150, states as follows:

SECTION 150. Any person or entity shall be absolutely immune from any liability arising from compliance with the dictates of this act unless such conduct by the person or entity is willful and intentional.

NOTE: This section reflects the following correction pursuant to the Minutes of the Joint Legislative Committee on Compilation, Revision and Publication of Legislation dated May 20, 1998: In section (d), change "parental" to "prenatal", so that "...and provided parental expenses or support for the child;" will read as "...and provided prenatal expenses or support for the child'"
