SB 197 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING INSURANCE COVERAGE OF CERTAIN IN VITRO FERTILIZATION TREATMENTS FOR STATE AND MUNICIPAL FIREFIGHTERS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER.

This bill requires health insurance plans covering state and municipal firefighters to include coverage for in vitro fertilization (IVF), egg freezing, and sperm freezing. It applies specifically to firefighters diagnosed with cancer, ensuring they can access fertility preservation services before or during cancer treatment. The law mandates these specific treatments be covered under their insurance plans, directly affecting firefighters facing cancer-related infertility risks. This policy change addresses a gap in reproductive health coverage for this occupational group.
