House Resolution No. by Representative Terry Landry establishes the Task Force on Gestational Carrier Agreements and Assisted Reproductive Regulation in Louisiana. This task force is tasked with studying the implementation and regulation of gestational carrier agreements, as current state law lacks a comprehensive framework for these arrangements despite the increasing use of assisted reproductive technology. The resolution emphasizes the importance of addressing various issues related to gestational carriers, intended parents, and children born through these agreements, including public health, family law, medical ethics, informed consent, and child welfare.

The task force will consist of members from various relevant sectors, including health, law, and psychology, and is encouraged to seek input from a wide range of stakeholders. It is required to develop recommendations for legislation and submit a final report by February 15, 2027. The resolution also outlines the operational procedures for the task force, including quorum requirements, meeting regulations, and the necessity for transparency in its proceedings. The task force will be dissolved upon the submission of its final report or by February 28, 2027, whichever comes first.
