Establishes legal framework for assisted reproduction methods including intrauterine insemination, egg donation, embryo donation, and in-vitro fertilization.

Designates intended parents (not egg donors) as legal parents of children born through egg donation, provided the egg donor relinquishes all parental rights and a valid contract is executed.
-
Requires egg donors and intended parents to be at least 21 years old and complete medical evaluations, mental health consultations, and independent legal counsel reviews before medical procedures begin.

Mandates written egg donation contracts specifying medical procedures, payment terms, compensation limits, and provisions that egg donors cannot claim parental rights or seek specific performance to compel egg retrieval.

Allows intended parents to withdraw consent to assisted reproduction in writing before embryo transfer, and treats divorce or legal separation as automatic consent withdrawal unless otherwise specified in writing.
