Bill > SB264

This bill changes the name of the "surrogacy" chapter in New Hampshire law to "parentage" and makes several technical changes to the chapter. The key provisions are: 1. It updates definitions related to assisted reproduction, including terms like "gamete," "gestational carrier," and "intended parent." 2. It clarifies the parent-child relationship, stating that a person who consents to or provides gametes/embryos for assisted reproduction with the intent to parent the resulting child is a legal parent. It also allows donors to petition the court to affirm they are not a parent. 3. It makes changes to the requirements and enforceability of gestational carrier agreements, including allowing for "substantial compliance" with the law rather than strict compliance. 4. It provides more details on the court process for obtaining parentage orders, including expanding the locations where such petitions can be filed. The bill is intended to update and clarify New Hampshire's laws regarding parentage and assisted reproduction.
