Protecting Access to IVF and Assisted Reproductive Technology Nationwide.
This bill aims to secure the right of individuals to use assisted reproductive technology (ART), including in vitro fertilization (IVF), by preventing state and local governments from imposing undue burdens on these procedures. Crucially, it limits liability for non-negligent accidents that damage embryos or gametes during handling or storage. This guarantees continued access to fertility treatments for citizens seeking to start a family.
