Legislative Session

Senator Scott asked the Senate to pass the SAFE KIDS Act by unanimous consent. He said the bill would prohibit paid surrogacy arrangements with citizens of countries including China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, which he said are being used to obtain American citizenship for children, including cases where parents never visit the United States or abandon the children, and would penalize brokers who arrange such deals. He described the bill as a national security measure protecting women and children and said American citizenship cannot be bought.
