Bill > HB2948

This bill establishes comprehensive reporting requirements for assisted reproductive technology (ART) in Oklahoma, first defining key terms and then mandating detailed data collection and reporting by fertility clinics and the Oklahoma State Department of Health. The bill defines numerous technical terms related to reproductive technology, including precise definitions for procedures like in vitro fertilization, embryo cryopreservation, and what constitutes infertility, and requires fertility clinics to track and report extensive data points about embryo creation, preservation, transfer, and outcomes. Specifically, fertility clinics must report details such as the number of embryos created, what happens to those embryos (including destruction, donation, or research use), transfer methods, pregnancy results, live birth rates, and instances of multiple gestation. The Oklahoma State Department of Health must then compile this anonymized data into a comprehensive public report within 12 months of receiving the clinic reports, which will provide statistical information about ART procedures, success rates, and clinic performance. The bill aims to increase transparency, accountability, and provide research-valuable information about assisted reproductive technologies, with the reporting requirements set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
