Massachusetts S1130: Promotes children's security by clarifying parentage rules for assisted reproduction and surrogacy.

Massachusetts S1130 amends the Parentage Act to promote children's security by clarifying parentage rules for assisted reproduction and surrogacy. The bill establishes that intended parents are automatically recognized as parents upon a child's birth from assisted reproduction, regardless of the surrogate's or deceased parent's status. It also mandates that surrogacy agreements must be validated by a court before assisted reproduction occurs. The bill further outlines the rights and responsibilities of intended parents, surrogates, and deceased parents in assisted reproduction scenarios.
