  "black_letter": "Minnesota repealed former § 257.56 (2024 c 101) and enacted Chapter 257E (Assisted Reproduction). Under § 257E.10, “assisted reproduction” means a method of causing pregnancy other than sexual intercourse (including vaginal/IUI insemination); “donor” means an individual who provides gametes intended for use in assisted reproduction (not a parent/intended parent). § 257E.21: a donor is not a parent of a child conceived by assisted reproduction. No physician-provision requirement in those definitions. Update all citations from repealed 257.56 to 257E.",
