‘Sec. 1. 22 MRSA §4003-A is enacted to read:
§ 4003-A. Rights of parents
1. Parents joint natural guardians of children. The parents are the joint natural guardians of their minor children and are jointly entitled to the care, custody, control, services and earnings of their children. Neither parent has any rights paramount to the rights of the other with reference to any matter affecting their children.
2. Fundamental liberty interest. A parent has a fundamental liberty interest in directing the care, custody and control of the parent's child.
3. Government interference. The State or any political subdivision of the State may not infringe the liberty interest in subsection 2 unless that infringement is justified by a compelling state interest and narrowly tailored to achieve that compelling state interest through the least restrictive means necessary.’
