SB 1151 Hawaii Senate · 2025 Regular Session

RELATING TO ASSISTED REPRODUCTION.

SB 1151 simplifies the legal process for determining parentage when using assisted reproductive technologies (like IVF or surrogacy). It directly affects intended parents, donors, and surrogates by replacing complex court procedures with a streamlined, administrative method. The bill establishes a clear, faster pathway to establish legal parentage without requiring court involvement in most cases. This change aims to reduce delays and legal costs for families formed through assisted reproduction.
