Summary

Existing law defines "assisted reproduction" as conception by any means other than sexual intercourse, and "assisted reproduction agreement" as a written contract that includes a person who intends to be the legal parent of a child or children born through assisted reproduction and that defines the terms of the relationship between the parties to the contract. This bill would regulate the practice of surrogacy facilitators, as defined, and would require a nonattorney surrogacy facilitator to direct his or her client to deposit client funds in an independent, bonded escrow account or a trust account maintained by an attorney, subject to specified withdrawal requirements.
