Relates to prohibiting valuable consideration in exchange for human eggs
This bill prohibits offering or providing payment beyond reimbursement of actual expenses for donating human eggs used in scientific research. It specifically bans "valuable consideration" (like cash payments) while allowing reimbursement for documented costs such as travel, housing, lost wages, and direct medical expenses from donation-related illness. Institutions accepting egg donations must maintain records of reimbursed expenses and obtain donor certifications confirming no prohibited payments were made. The law excludes infertility treatments and classifies violations as a class E felony.
