It adds new definitions for key terms like 'donor' and 'reproductive tissue facility', requires written agreements to disclose all reasonably foreseeable complications, and prohibits facilities from requiring donors to waive liability for complications occurring within 90 days of the procedure. The changes aim to improve transparency and accountability in egg retrieval procedures.
