AN ACT CONCERNING FERTILITY FRAUD BY PHYSICIANS.
HB 5475 prohibits physicians from using their own sperm to inseminate patients without explicit consent. It directly affects patients undergoing fertility treatments who could face unexpected biological relationships due to such misconduct. The bill creates a legal path for harmed patients to sue physicians in court for financial damages and legal costs. Key provisions require physician consent before insemination and establish civil liability for violations. This law aims to prevent fertility fraud by holding physicians accountable for unauthorized use of their own genetic material.
