HB 1895 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions regarding assisted reproduction under the uniform parentage act

HB 1895 updates Missouri's Uniform Parentage Act to clarify parental rights in assisted reproduction cases. It requires written consent from an intended parent (not the biological parent) when using donated sperm, eggs, or embryos from a non-spouse donor, treating that intended parent as the legal parent. Donors are not considered legal parents unless they signed a written agreement beforehand, though oral agreements may be considered if documented evidence exists. The bill directly affects intended parents, donors, and individuals using assisted reproduction services in Missouri.
