The bill preempts state laws that restrict IVF access in ways inconsistent with medical standards - such as mandating unnecessary procedures, limiting telemedicine, or imposing discriminatory barriers - and allows federal court enforcement against violating state actions. This focuses on protecting existing access rather than creating new benefits or altering insurance coverage requirements.
