Bill > S00690

This bill establishes the "Donor-Conceived Person Protection Act," which creates comprehensive requirements for reproductive tissue banks in New York State to collect, verify, and disclose medical information related to tissue donors. Under this legislation, reproductive tissue banks must gather detailed medical history from donors, including information about hereditary conditions and current medications (excluding reproductive health details), and must verify this information against medical records. The bill mandates that these banks provide this medical information to recipients before tissue transfer and to donor-conceived persons when they turn 18 or earlier with parental consent. Donors must provide comprehensive medical information, consent to medical record verification, and authorize the release of their medical history. Reproductive tissue banks are required to keep donor medical records for at least 25 years after a live birth, redact personal identifying information when sharing records, and ensure that donor-conceived persons can access relevant medical information. The bill aims to help recipients make informed decisions about assisted reproductive procedures and allow donor-conceived individuals to understand potential inherited medical conditions, while also protecting donor privacy by anonymizing personal details.
