MS HB1469

Defines "assisted reproduction" as any method of causing pregnancy other than sexual intercourse for purposes of intestate succession law.

Deems a child born through assisted reproduction to be living at the time of the decedent's death if the child lives at least 120 hours after birth and certain conditions are met.

Requires the decedent's personal representative to receive notice or have actual knowledge of intent to use genetic material within 6 months of death, and the embryo must be in utero within 36 months or the child born within 45 months of the decedent's death.

Requires a written document signed by both the decedent and the person seeking to use assisted reproduction clearly approving pregnancy after the decedent's death.

Creates a rebuttable presumption that the decedent did not approve assisted reproduction if divorced or legally separated from the person seeking to use that method.
