Senate Bill 888 proposes amendments to the registration process for births involving surrogate mothers in Wisconsin. The bill renumbers and amends existing statute 69.14 (1) (h) and introduces a new provision, 69.14 (1) (h) 2. Under the current law, the birth record of a child born to a surrogate must include the surrogate mother's information while omitting the father's details. The bill modifies this by stipulating that a court cannot determine parental rights over such a child unless at least one individual seeking those rights is biologically related to the child.

The new legal language clarifies that parental rights can only be established through an adoption proceeding if the biological connection is not present. This change aims to ensure that only individuals with a biological link to the child can petition for parental rights, thereby reinforcing the legal framework surrounding surrogacy and parental rights in Wisconsin.
