H.R.9132

Preventing International Surrogacy Exploitation Act prohibits foreign nationals from entering into surrogacy contracts in the U.S.

The Preventing International Surrogacy Exploitation Act aims to invalidate surrogacy agreements involving foreign nationals and U.S. surrogate mothers. It imposes criminal penalties on brokers facilitating such agreements. The Act also ensures that children born through these agreements remain eligible for U.S. citizenship and immigration benefits. Legal custody decisions are left to state laws, focusing on the child's best interests.
