Modifies paternity presumption law to include cases where pregnancy is initiated by assisted reproduction and the man was intended as the legal parent under a written agreement with all known presumptive parents entered into before the pregnancy.

Revises section 257.56 to replace "artificial insemination" language with "assisted reproduction" and changes references from "husband" and "wife" to "intended parents," extending protections to unmarried couples and same-sex couples.

Requires intended parents undergoing assisted reproduction to provide written consent that they intend to become legal parents, with consent retained by physician for at least four years.

Establishes comprehensive gestational surrogacy framework (sections 257.87-257.99) including eligibility requirements for surrogates (minimum age 21, prior childbirth, medical and mental health evaluations) and intended parents (must provide gametes, require surrogate services per physician affidavit, mental health evaluation).

Provides that intended parents are legal parents immediately upon birth if gestational surrogacy contract meets statutory requirements, with attorney certifications to hospital and vital records within three business days; allows court determination of parental rights based on original intent if requirements are not met.
