Protecting Nationwide Access to IVF and Assisted Reproductive Technology.
This Act establishes a federal statutory right guaranteeing citizens access to Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), including IVF, and related medical care. It prevents state and local governments from imposing unreasonable restrictions that would hinder patients seeking fertility treatment. Citizens also gain the right to control the use and disposition of their reproductive genetic materials.
