SAFE KIDS Act

This bill would make surrogacy agreements void and unenforceable when a surrogate in the United States, or a U.S. citizen or permanent resident surrogate, contracts with a prospective parent who is a citizen or permanent resident of a country listed as a foreign entity of concern under federal law. An exception applies when the prospective parents are a legally married couple and at least one of them is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. Surrogacy brokers who knowingly or recklessly help form such agreements could be fined, imprisoned for up to one year, or both. Custody of a child born under a voided agreement would be decided by the best interests of the child under the law of the state where the surrogate lives, without regard to the agreement.
