No Surrogacy for Sex Offenders Act
To amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit surrogacy arrangements for sex offenders, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill creates two new federal crimes related to surrogacy arrangements. It prohibits registered sex offenders from entering into surrogacy arrangements using interstate or foreign commerce with the intent to exercise parental rights over the resulting child, with penalties up to 18 years in prison. It also prohibits anyone from entering into such surrogacy arrangements if they commit a sex offense during the period from when they use interstate or foreign commerce to enter the arrangement until the child is born. The bill defines surrogacy arrangement as an agreement where one person carries a pregnancy with the expectation that another person will exercise parental rights.
