SB 135 Surrogate consent and report form.
Introduced by: Walter A. Stosch | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles | history
SUMMARY AS PASSED:
Surrogate consent and report form. Specifically directs the State Registrar of Vital Records to develop, furnish and distribute a surrogate consent and report form. When a non-court approved surrogacy contract is used, this form must be signed by the surrogate and filed by the intended parents within 60 days of the birth in order to have a new birth certificate established. The form has never been available so the law is amended to require filing within six months after the form becomes available to be treated as filing within the 60 days. Provides that a physician's acknowledged statement of the genetic relationships between the parties creates a rebuttable presumption that such statement is accurate.
