Surrogacy; child born via surrogacy required to be relinquished directly to an intended parent, probate courts required to confirm identity of intended parents, State Department of Human Resources authorized to adopt rules

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill would require probate courts to identify the intended parents of a child born to a surrogate in the state and ensure the child is given directly to them. Intended parents would need to provide identification to the birthing facility, and if they do not physically retrieve the child, the State Department of Human Resources would temporarily take custody. Hospitals and birthing centers would also need to create policies to follow these rules.
