SAFE KIDS Act

This bill is known as the Stopping Adversarial Foreign Exploitation of Kids In Domestic Surrogacy Act or the SAFE KIDS Act. It aims to stop citizens of foreign adversarial nations from entering into or enforcing surrogacy contracts in the United States. According to the text, foreign entities are exploiting commercial surrogacy laws, which presents a national security threat and is even being used to facilitate human trafficking. The bill makes certain international surrogate parentage contracts void and unenforceable. It also imposes criminal penalties on surrogacy brokers who facilitate these invalid agreements. Finally, the bill dictates that custody of a child born under an unenforceable agreement will be decided based on the best interests of the child under state law.
