Relates to surrogacy programs and agreements

This bill amends New York's surrogacy laws to clarify legal parentage and financial responsibilities. It requires courts to automatically issue parentage judgments declaring intended parents as the sole legal parents immediately after birth, while excluding surrogates and donors from parental rights. The bill mandates that intended parents cover all medical costs - including preconception care, pregnancy expenses, and 12 months of postnatal care - through comprehensive health insurance or escrow funds. These changes directly affect intended parents, surrogates, and healthcare providers involved in surrogacy arrangements. The provisions aim to streamline legal recognition and ensure financial accountability throughout the surrogacy process.
