Not in force
542.5. A third person who has contributed to the procreation of a child shall, at the time of the first request for information about them, be informed of the request by the authority designated by law so as to have the opportunity to express their will regarding contact, indicating, if applicable, the conditions under which contact is authorized. If the third person is untraceable or incapable of expressing their will, disclosure of the third person’s name entails, by operation of law, a contact veto. In the event the third person is found or again becomes capable of expressing their will, the third person must be given the opportunity to maintain or withdraw the veto.
A third person who has registered a contact veto following a first request may, at any time, withdraw the veto by so notifying the authority designated by law.
