The Protecting Children in Surrogacy Act aims to prevent individuals who are registered sex offenders from obtaining children through surrogacy arrangements. The main objective is to safeguard children from potential harm by ensuring that those with a history of sexual offenses cannot become parents through this method. The key provisions of the Act include a clear prohibition against covered sex offenders from entering into surrogacy contracts or obtaining custody of a child through surrogacy. If a covered sex offender does so, they could face fines or imprisonment for up to ten years.
