Protecting Kids from Creeps Act
Surrogacy Ban for Sex Offenders
The Protecting Kids from Creeps Act is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It was recently sent to the House Committee on the Judiciary for review. The bill is actively moving forward, but no further actions have been scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
This bill is led by a small group of Republicans and lacks the broad support needed to move forward. Its very long prison sentences are also likely to face opposition.
Key Points
- This bill would make it a federal crime for anyone on a sex offender list to sign a contract to have a baby through surrogacy. It also targets the agencies that help set up these deals.
- The punishments are very strict. Sex offenders and agency workers who knowingly help with these deals would face at least 20 years in prison.
- Surrogacy agencies that break the law would lose their special tax-free status and would be banned from getting any money from the federal government.
- If a surrogacy deal is found to be illegal, the contract would be canceled. A state court would then decide who gets to keep the baby based on what is best for the child.
- The bill defines a sex offender as anyone who is or has ever been required to register on a sex offender list under federal law.
