Summary

The bill changes Wisconsin’s birth‑registration law so that when a child is born to a surrogate, the surrogate’s details are recorded and the father’s information is omitted. If a court later decides on parental rights, a new birth record must be created and the original destroyed, and courts can only award paternal rights through adoption if a biological father is involved.
