SB 2447 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Mississippi Family Building Act; enact.

Mississippi's SB 2447, the "Mississippi Family Building Act," establishes legal rules for gestational surrogacy where the surrogate is not the biological mother. It requires donors of eggs, sperm, or embryos to relinquish all parental rights with proof of donation intent, permits reasonable compensation for donors, and mandates written agreements between intended parents and surrogates. These agreements must cover medical coverage, parental rights transfer, and require court approval before birth to establish intended parents as legal parents. The bill directly affects intended parents, gestational carriers, and donors involved in assisted reproductive technology arrangements.
