Bill > A01107

This bill enacts the "Donor-Conceived Person Protection Act" to establish comprehensive regulations for reproductive tissue banks in New York State. The legislation requires these banks to collect, verify, and disseminate detailed medical information from reproductive tissue donors, ensuring that both recipients and donor-conceived persons have access to critical health history. Specifically, the bill mandates that donors provide comprehensive medical information about themselves and their family, including hereditary conditions and current medications, and give consent for reproductive tissue banks to obtain and share their medical records. When a donor-conceived person turns 18 (or earlier with parental consent), they will have the right to access the donor's medical records, with personal identifying information redacted for anonymous donors. The bill defines key terms like "reproductive tissue donor," "recipient," and "donor-conceived person" and requires reproductive tissue banks to keep donor medical records for at least 25 years after a live birth. Additionally, the law prohibits the transfer of reproductive tissue to other states without a certification of medical verification compliance, ultimately aiming to provide transparency, health information, and protection for all parties involved in assisted reproductive technologies.
