Civil procedure: civil actions; civil action for making a false representation in assisted reproduction; provide for. Amends 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.101 - 600.9947) by adding sec. 2980. TIE BAR WITH: HB 5036'25

HB 5035 creates a legal remedy for individuals harmed by false claims in assisted reproduction services. It allows patients who gave birth to a child through such services, their spouses at the time, children conceived via the false representation, or gamete donors to sue providers for economic damages, non-financial harm, attorney fees, and punitive damages. The law requires lawsuits to be filed within 3 years of discovering the false representation and specifies that this new cause of action applies alongside existing criminal or civil penalties. The bill directly affects patients, families, and donors involved in assisted reproduction when providers make misleading claims about services or results.
