AB 898 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: registration of births by surrogate mother.

AB 898 modifies birth registration rules for children born through surrogacy. It requires that birth records include the surrogate mother's information while omitting the father's details. The bill also mandates that courts can only establish parental rights for these children through adoption proceedings - unless at least one petitioner seeking parental rights is biologically related to the child. This affects how surrogacy-related birth records are processed and how courts determine parental rights.
