Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would make it a federal crime for a person who is required to register as a sex offender to use interstate or foreign commerce to enter into a surrogacy arrangement intending to become the child's parent. It would also make it a crime for a person who enters such an arrangement to commit a sex offense between the time the arrangement begins and the child's birth. Either crime could be punished by a fine, up to 18 years in prison, or both. The bill defines a surrogacy arrangement as an agreement in which one person carries a pregnancy expecting that another person will have parental rights to the child.
