What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Protecting Kids from Creeps Act," aims to prevent sex offenders from obtaining children through surrogacy. It prohibits surrogacy agencies from facilitating agreements where a party is a sex offender. The legislation establishes strict criminal penalties, including prison time and fines, for agencies, employees, and the offenders themselves. Additionally, convicted agencies would lose their 501(c)(3) status and federal grant eligibility. Any such surrogacy agreement would be considered void and unenforceable.
