S 7030 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to expanding the definition of "infertility" to include same sex couples

S 7030 amends New York's insurance law to expand the legal definition of "infertility" to explicitly include individuals in same-sex relationships. This change directly affects same-sex couples seeking insurance coverage for infertility treatments, as the updated definition now recognizes their circumstances under the same medical criteria used for heterosexual couples. The key provision adds "or be in a same-sex relationship" to the existing definition, which previously focused on heterosexual conception attempts. The bill does not create new benefits but adjusts how infertility is defined for insurance purposes, aligning the legal standard with current medical practice. It became law immediately upon enactment.
