Bill > A01485

This bill requires the New York State Commissioner of Health, in consultation with the transplant council, to create regulations governing the commercial trade of semen donation. The key provisions include establishing a limit of ten live births per semen donor and creating a central tracking registry to monitor donor information. The registry will collect and maintain data on the number of live births from each donor, the donor's health information at the time of donation, and other relevant details. The regulations will ensure the anonymity of both donors and offspring while providing a mechanism for managing and tracking semen donation activities. By implementing these regulations, the bill aims to provide oversight and protection in the process of semen donation, preventing potential issues that could arise from a single donor creating an excessive number of offspring. The regulations will go into effect immediately upon passage of the bill.
