FL S2240

Creates the "Florida Assisted Reproductive Technology Act" establishing comprehensive requirements for assisted reproductive technology agencies providing third-party reproductive services on a commercial or fee basis.

Requires agencies to conduct mental health evaluations for all participants (with updates every 2 years), medical evaluations for donors and gestational surrogates, and criminal background checks updated every 2 years, with emphasis on child-related offenses.

Mandates agencies establish escrow accounts with independent escrow agents to hold all participant payments (except agency compensation), with funds disbursed only upon affidavit from the agency specifying the purpose.

Requires written disclosure documents in plain language covering known risks, legal consequences, confidentiality protections, medical information access, donor/surrogate information summaries, embryo transfer policies, and parental rights, with signed informed consent from participants.

Prohibits agencies from operating if owners/operators have arrests, charges, or convictions within 5 years for economic crimes, fraud, embezzlement, violence, or controlled substances, and prohibits use of donors or surrogates who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents; violations constitute unfair trade practices with civil liability including attorney's fees.
