MI SB1082

Establishes the "gestational surrogate parentage act" to allow compensated gestational surrogacy contracts in Michigan, where a gestational carrier agrees to gestate an embryo not created from her own egg and the intended parent becomes the legal parent by operation of law.

Requires gestational carriers to be at least 21 years old, have previously given birth to at least one child, complete medical and mental health evaluations, and consult with independent legal counsel before entering a contract.

Requires intended parents to complete mental health evaluations and consult with independent legal counsel, with at least one party to the contract being a Michigan resident.

Mandates all compensation be placed in escrow before medical procedures begin and specifies that gestational carriers have no parental or custodial rights to the resulting child, which vest exclusively in the intended parent.

Prohibits minors and individuals with intellectual disabilities, mental illness, or developmental disabilities from serving as gestational carriers, with violations punishable by a fine up to $50,000 or imprisonment up to 5 years.

Repeals the 1988 Surrogate Parenting Act and takes effect 90 days after enactment, contingent on passage of SB 1083 and SB 1084.
