Protecting Kids from Creeps Act

This bill would make it a federal crime for a surrogacy agency or its employees to help arrange a surrogacy agreement where one party is a person who is or ever was required to register as a sex offender. It would also make it a crime for such a person to knowingly enter a surrogacy agreement, with minimum prison terms of 10 or 20 years depending on the offense. Agencies convicted under the law would lose eligibility for federal tax-exempt status and federal grants, and the Attorney General could seek civil penalties. Surrogacy agreements made in violation would be void, and custody of a child born under one would be decided by the best interests of the child under the law of the state where the surrogate lives.
