S 1171 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Protects access to assisted reproductive technology.

This bill adds a constitutional right to choose whether to use assisted reproductive technology (ART), including in vitro fertilization (IVF), to New Jersey's existing reproductive rights protections. It explicitly expands the state constitution's recognition of reproductive choice to cover ART, ensuring individuals cannot be barred from accessing these services by state law. Any existing or new law that conflicts with this right would be deemed invalid. The change applies to all individuals present in New Jersey, including those under state supervision, and aligns with the state's longstanding support for reproductive freedom.
