The main purpose of this legislation is to prohibit individuals who are registered sex offenders from engaging in surrogacy arrangements. The goal is to protect children and ensure that those with a history of sexual offenses do not have the opportunity to exercise parental rights over a child born through surrogacy. Key provisions of the law include a clear ban on sex offenders using any means of interstate or foreign commerce to enter into a surrogacy agreement. If a registered sex offender attempts to do so, they could face fines or imprisonment for up to 18 years.
