HEALTH: Creates a task force to study the regulation of gestational carrier agreements

This resolution establishes a task force to study how Louisiana should regulate gestational carrier agreements, which are arrangements where one person carries a pregnancy for intended parents. The group will examine various issues such as legal parentage, medical ethics, privacy protections, and financial safeguards for all parties involved. Composed of members from state agencies, healthcare professionals, legal experts, and advocates, the task force is scheduled to begin its work in September 2026 and submit a final report by February 2027. Its findings may lead to new laws or guidelines, but the resolution itself only creates the committee to conduct the study and does not change any current regulations.
