Certain intended parents required to adopt child.

This bill requires intended parents who are not biologically related to a child and do not give birth to that child to legally adopt the child to be recognized as parents. It directly affects individuals using surrogacy arrangements in Minnesota, mandating they complete an adoption process under Chapter 259 of the state statutes. The law applies only to births occurring on or after August 1, 2026, and does not change requirements for biological parents or those who give birth to the child.
