Relating to reporting requirements for assisted reproductive technology, including in vitro fertilization.
SB 2447 requires fertility clinics and assisted reproductive technology providers in Texas to submit detailed annual reports to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. These reports must track 19 specific metrics about embryo handling, including what happens to embryos (e.g., destruction, donation, adoption), success rates, miscarriage rates, and instances of non-viable transfers, without including patient identifying information. The data will be compiled into a statewide annual report summarizing outcomes like live births, multiple gestations, and embryo storage. This bill directly affects all licensed fertility clinics performing procedures like IVF, artificial insemination, or embryo freezing, focusing solely on data collection and transparency.
