MS SB2447

Establishes legal framework for gestational surrogacy agreements in Mississippi, requiring gestational carriers to be at least 21 years old and not use their own eggs

Donors of eggs, sperm, or embryos must relinquish all parental rights upon written or clear and convincing evidence of intent to donate, with reasonable compensation permitted

Requires intended parents to provide private health insurance and pay all medical costs for the gestational carrier's pregnancy, prenatal care, labor, delivery, and up to 8 weeks post-partum recovery

Mandates separate independent legal counsel for intended parents and gestational carriers, with pre-birth judicial determination of parentage through Chancery Court proceedings

Limits agreements to no more than two intended parents and allows termination of the agreement only when medical confirmation shows the gestational carrier is not pregnant
