HB2683

Establishes consistent standards for gestational surrogacy agreements and confirms legal status of children born through these arrangements.

Illinois HB2683, known as the Equality for Every Family Act, amends the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015 and the Gestational Surrogacy Act. It sets out rules for establishing parentage in cases of assisted reproduction and gestational surrogacy. The bill clarifies that a person who consents to assisted reproduction is a parent of the resulting child. It also establishes that a gestational surrogate is not a parent of a child born through surrogacy. The bill outlines the requirements for a gestational surrogacy agreement to be enforceable, including written agreements and certifications.
