Overview
This bill creates a new crime in New Jersey called ‘fertility fraud.’ It specifically addresses situations where a healthcare practitioner performs assisted reproduction treatments – like IVF – using their own or another person’s reproductive material without the patient’s fully informed and written consent. If convicted, the offender could face up to five years in prison, a fine of up to $15,000, or both, and have their healthcare license permanently revoked. The bill also sets a timeframe for prosecuting these cases.
