SB 293 Connecticut Senate · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING THE STATUTE OF LIMITATION FOR INJURY CAUSED BY FRAUD IN THE PROVISION OF FERTILITY CARE AND TREATMENT.

SB 293 extends the time frame for minors to sue providers for fraud in fertility care. It allows victims to file claims up to three years after reaching age 18 (the age of majority) or three years after discovering the fraud, whichever occurs later. This directly affects minors who suffered harm due to fraudulent fertility treatments or care. The law takes effect October 1, 2026, and modifies existing statute of limitations rules for these specific cases.

Raised Bill → JUD Joint Favorable Substitute · 3 edits

MINOR

The bill was reclassified from a 'Raised Bill' to a 'Substitute Bill' after receiving a favorable recommendation from the Judiciary Committee. The core substantive change involves extending the statute of limitations for personal injury claims related to fertility fraud from three years to thirty years, providing minors significantly more time to seek legal remedies.

Scope change

The bill now includes new definitions for key terms such as 'fraud in the provision of fertility care and treatment,' 'assisted reproductive treatment,' and 'health care provider,' clarifying exactly what conduct and entities are covered under the new law.

TIMELINE

The deadline to file a lawsuit for fertility fraud was extended from three years to thirty years from the date a minor turns twenty-one.

DEFINITION

New definitions were added to clarify that fraud involves using reproductive material without written consent and to specify which medical procedures and providers are included.

TECHNICAL

The bill title was updated to reflect its status as a 'Substitute Bill' following committee approval, and the effective date was set for October 1, 2026.
