Protect Children Born from Fertility Care Act.
SB 911, titled the Protect Children Born from Fertility Care Act, modifies North Carolina laws to clarify parental rights and establish legal remedies for specific fertility care incidents. The bill ensures that children conceived through artificial insemination are treated identically to naturally conceived children and defines clear consent requirements for parents, including provisions for situations where consent forms are missing but parental intent is evident. Additionally, it creates a civil cause of action allowing patients or their children to sue healthcare providers who knowingly used their own reproductive material without the patient's informed written consent, with a five-year statute of limitations for minors.
