CA AB2298

Requires assisted reproduction agreements for gestational carriers to include disclosure that any child conceived through sexual intercourse by the gestational carrier is the child of the gestational carrier.

Mandates that both the surrogate and intended parent(s) be represented by separate independent licensed attorneys before executing the agreement.

Requires agreements to be notarized or witnessed by equivalent affirmation and prohibits embryo transfer procedures until the agreement is fully executed.

Establishes that a properly executed agreement lodged with superior court automatically rebuts presumptions of parentage and establishes that the gestational carrier and her spouse or partner have no parental rights to children born from the transferred embryo.

Requires court to issue judgment establishing intended parent(s) as legal parents without further hearing or evidence upon petition, unless good faith concerns exist about compliance with agreement requirements.
