New York A00526 establishes a cause of action for fertility fraud, allowing patients to sue for damages if unauthorized reproductive material is used.

New York A00526 amends the civil rights law and the education law to establish a private right of action for fertility fraud. Patients who have undergone assisted reproduction procedures, intended parents, spouses of patients, and children born from such procedures can sue for damages if human reproductive material other than that consented to by the patient is used. The bill allows for compensatory and punitive damages. It also provides a cause of action for donors if their material is used without consent or in a manner not consented to.
