MODERATE

The bill was renumbered from S690-A to S690-B and its legislative history was updated to reflect a new committee referral. Substantively, the bill expanded its scope by adding definitions for 'directed' and 'non-identified' donors, explicitly including surrogates in the definition of a recipient, and broadening the exclusion of reproductive health records to include gender-affirming health services.
