Bill > SCR241

This Concurrent Resolution requests the State Auditor to assess the social and financial impacts of requiring health insurance to cover fertility preservation procedures, such as cryopreservation (freezing eggs, sperm, or embryos), for individuals diagnosed with cancer whose cancer or its treatment may harm their fertility. The Auditor is tasked with examining existing laws in other states, the definition of "reproductive age," the effectiveness and cost of various fertility preservation methods, and ethical and legal issues surrounding the use and ownership of cryopreserved materials, especially after a donor's death, with a report due to the Legislature before the 2023 session.
