AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 13 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO GESTATIONAL CARRIER AGREEMENTS.

This Act establishes that gestational carrier arrangements are legal contracts. It establishes a set of consistent standards and procedural safeguards applicable to all agreements for the protection of all parties involved in a gestational carrier arrangement. It recognizes the need for intended parents to obtain legal recognition of their rights before birth of any resulting child especially in cases where medical decisions need to be made immediately after delivery. This Act also expands the jurisdiction over non-residents in circumstances in which significant acts have or are expected to occur within the State.
