Surrogacy and Assisted Reproduction

Summary

The proposal rewrites several Florida statutes to require donor banks, fertility clinics and surrogacy agencies to be licensed, to keep detailed records, and to undergo regular inspections. It also adds requirements for independent legal counsel, mental‑health and medical evaluations, background investigations and escrow accounts for participants in surrogacy arrangements. Courts would have new authority to review and validate surrogacy contracts and to grant parental status more quickly after a birth.
