Relating to parentage resulting from assisted reproduction and gestational agreements.

HB 5494 clarifies legal parentage for children born through assisted reproduction, such as surrogacy or donor sperm. It requires written consent from all intended parents (including unmarried men providing sperm) before conception, to establish legal parentage. The bill also defines "intended parents" as those who agree in writing to parent a child born via gestational agreement. Exceptions allow courts to recognize parentage without written consent if parties lived together with the child for two years or had clear prior agreements.
