Arizona SCR1008 proposes a technical correction to marriage laws, specifically addressing surrogate parentage contracts.

Arizona SCR1008 proposes a technical correction to existing marriage laws, specifically addressing surrogate parentage contracts. The bill amends Section 25-218 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to prohibit individuals from entering into or assisting in surrogate parentage contracts. It also establishes that a surrogate is the legal mother of a child born from such a contract and is entitled to custody. If the intended mother is married, her husband is presumed to be the legal father, though this presumption can be rebutted.
