     78-45g-103.   Scope -- Choice of law.
     (1) This chapter applies to determinations of parentage in this state.
     (2) The tribunal shall apply the law of this state to adjudicate the parent-child relationship. The applicable law may not depend upon:
     (a) the place of birth of the child; or
     (b) the past or present residence of the child.
     (3) This chapter may not create, enlarge, or diminish parental rights or duties under other laws of this state.
     (4) This chapter does not authorize or prohibit an agreement between a woman and a man and another woman in which the woman relinquishes all rights as a parent of a child conceived by means of assisted reproduction, and which provides that the man and other woman become the parents of the child. If a birth results under such an agreement and the agreement is unenforceable under the law of this state, the parent-child relationship is determined as provided in Part 2, Parent-child Relationship.
