technical correction; marriage
SCR 1008 is a proposed constitutional amendment (requiring voter approval) that would amend Arizona law regarding surrogate parentage contracts. It would prohibit such contracts (where a woman agrees to carry a child for others), establish the surrogate as the legal mother with custody rights, and create a legal presumption that the husband of a married surrogate is the child's father. This change would directly affect surrogates, intended parents, and the legal process for determining parental rights in surrogacy arrangements. The amendment must be approved by voters at the next general election to become law.
