Bill > HF5453

This bill regulates traditional and gestational surrogacy arrangements in Minnesota. It defines key terms like "gestational surrogacy arrangement," "gestational surrogate," and "intended parents." The bill invalidates traditional surrogacy arrangements and outlines requirements for enforceable gestational surrogacy contracts, including independent legal representation, medical and mental health evaluations, and limits on contract provisions. The bill also establishes eligibility criteria for gestational surrogates and intended parents, and provides for the determination of legal parentage. Finally, the bill prohibits for-profit surrogacy agencies and requires the state health department to collect data on gestational surrogacy.
