Why the model tagged it this way: The bill regulates assisted reproduction, surrogacy agencies, donor banks and fertility clinics with new licensing, background checks, consent, labeling, record retention and inspection rules; it also revises preplanned adoption agreements to bar disqualified persons from adopting, retain maternal rights in certain cases, require independent counsel, and allow genetic testing, touching personhood-ivf via IVF/preembryo regulation and custody-support via changes to parental rights, adoption approval and paternity testing in surrogacy/adoption arrangements.
