Proposed Crime of Fraudulent Assisted Reproduction
⚠️
PROPOSED LEGISLATIONThis bill has been introduced but has NOT been signed into law. Legislative proposals may be amended, passed, or fail to advance. This is not current law.
This proposed bill would establish a new crime called fraudulent assisted reproduction. Before this change, there was no specific law addressing fraud in the context of assisted reproductive technologies like IVF or surrogacy. If enacted, it would impose penalties and civil liabilities on individuals who engage in such fraudulent activities. This could affect fertility clinics, patients seeking assisted reproduction services, and third parties involved in these processes. The exact effective date is not specified.
