Key Points

  • This bill, introduced in Congress, would make it a federal crime for anyone on the National Sex Offender Registry to use a surrogate to have or get a child.
  • People who break this law could face up to 10 years in prison and expensive fines. It also stops federal courts from enforcing any surrogacy contracts that involve a registered sex offender.
  • The rule applies to almost all surrogacy deals because it kicks in if anyone travels between states, sends money across state lines, or even uses the internet to talk about the arrangement.
  • The policy aims to close a legal loophole to ensure children born through surrogacy are not placed in the care of individuals with a history of sexual offenses.
