Banning Surrogacy Contracts with Citizens of Adversarial Foreign Nations.
This law voids commercial surrogacy contracts made in the US if the intended parents are citizens of nations designated as 'Foreign Entities of Concern.' The goal is to prevent the exploitation of US surrogate mothers and address national security risks associated with these arrangements. If a contract is voided, custody of the child will be determined by state courts based solely on the child's best interests.
Key points
Surrogacy agreements involving prospective parents from designated adversarial foreign nations are made void and unenforceable.
Surrogacy brokers who facilitate these void agreements face potential criminal penalties, including fines and up to one year in prison.
The law protects US citizens: contracts remain valid if the prospective parents are married and at least one is a US citizen or permanent resident.
