AI Summary

This bill mandates that certain health insurers, along with the Oregon Educators Benefit Board (OEBB) and the Public Employees’ Benefit Board (PEBB), must cover costs associated with fertility treatments and procedures, defining "infertility" as the inability to establish or carry a pregnancy to live birth after a specified period of unprotected intercourse or the inability to reproduce without medical intervention. While most insurers are required to provide this coverage, some are exempt, and for those exempt insurers, the Department of Consumer and Business Services (DCBS) will administer a program to reimburse individuals for these costs, funded by the newly established Family Building Fund. Additionally, the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and DCBS are tasked with studying access to reproductive treatments and reporting their findings to the legislature, and the bill declares an emergency, making its provisions effective immediately upon passage.
