Illinois SB1990 amends the Parentage Act of 2015 to establish stricter requirements for intended parents in assisted reproduction. The bill mandates that intended parents undergo and pass a comprehensive criminal background check and screening before any insemination or embryo transfer. Failure to do so waives any presumption that the person is the legal parent of any resulting child. The background check must include a criminal history check, a check of the child abuse and neglect tracking system, and a check of the Illinois Sex Offender Registry.
