SAFE KIDS Act

The SAFE KIDS Act voids surrogacy contracts between U.S. surrogates and foreign nationals from designated "entities of concern" (like sanctioned countries), with limited exceptions for married U.S. couples. It criminalizes surrogacy brokers who facilitate such contracts, imposing fines or up to one year in prison. If a contract is voided, custody decisions for the child are determined by state courts based on the child's best interests, not the invalid agreement. The law directly affects U.S. surrogates, foreign nationals seeking surrogacy, and surrogacy brokers, targeting exploitation and potential trafficking risks.
