AN ACT ALLOWING THE COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC HEALTH TO REVOKE A PHYSICIAN'S LICENSE IF SUCH PHYSICIAN HAS BEEN FOUND GUILTY OR CONVICTED OF COMMITTING FERTILITY FRAUD.

HB 6588 allows Connecticut's Commissioner of Public Health to revoke a physician's license if the physician is convicted of fertility fraud - deceptive practices like using their own sperm in fertility treatments without consent. This directly affects physicians convicted of such fraud, regardless of whether the offense occurred within Connecticut or another state. The bill requires the Commissioner to establish a process for reporting these convictions to other states where the physician holds a license, ensuring coordinated disciplinary action. It does not create new criminal penalties but strengthens professional licensing enforcement.
