Bill > AB556

This bill would create a private right of action for damages against individuals who misuse sperm, ova, or embryos in violation of existing state law. Specifically, the bill would allow a prevailing plaintiff who suffers harm from such a violation to recover either their actual damages or a minimum of $50,000 in statutory damages, whichever is greater. This new civil cause of action is in addition to the existing criminal penalties for misusing reproductive materials under Section 367g of the California Penal Code.
