AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend existing law to allow individuals who are legally adults to petition the probate court, which is a court that handles matters like wills and estates, for the adoption of an embryo. This means that if enacted, adults would have a legal pathway to adopt embryos that have been created, for example, through in vitro fertilization (IVF), and are not intended for implantation in the person who created them.
