Amendments to agreement must be validated
Official statutory text
A. If the parties to a validated gestational agreement desire
to amend it, the amended gestational agreement must be validated to
be enforceable.
B. To validate amendments to a previously validated gestational
agreement, an amended petition must be filed in the same cause as
the petition under which the gestational agreement was originally
validated. The amended petition must identify the amendments the
parties seek to make to the gestational agreement, and said parties
must attach a copy of the amended gestational agreement.
C. The court shall apply the same requirements and utilize the
same procedures in determining whether to validate the amended
gestational agreement as are used in determining whether to validate
any other gestational agreement.
D. Upon validation of the amended gestational agreement, the
amended gestational agreement shall supersede any earlier versions
of the gestational agreement, and the earlier versions of the
gestational agreement shall be of no further force or effect.
E. A validated gestational agreement may not be amended to
change the identity of the gestational carrier, the gestational
spouse, if applicable, or any intended parent. In such instances,
the validated gestational agreement must be terminated in compliance

agreement with the new parties must be validated in a separate
action.
F. Nothing in this section shall prevent a gestational
agreement that has not been previously validated from being amended
as to any matter or term by agreement of the parties. Any such
amended gestational agreement must still be validated in compliance
with this act in order for it be enforceable.
