Bill Summary

AN ACT Repealing section 25-318.03, arizona revised statutes; amending title 25, chapter 3, article 2, arizona revised statutes, by adding a new section 25-318.03; relating to human embryos.

AI Summary

This bill, concerning the disposition of human embryos, repeals an existing Arizona law and replaces it with a new section that outlines how courts should handle disputes over in vitro human embryos in legal proceedings. Specifically, if parties involved in a legal case have a written agreement about the fate of these embryos, the court must follow that agreement. If no written agreement exists or if it's unclear, the court will decide based on balancing the interests of all parties involved. The bill also defines "human embryo" and "in vitro" by referencing another existing Arizona statute, section 36-2311, which provides the established meaning for these terms.
