AZ State Legislation

These proposed laws in Arizona would impose new and unprecedented restrictions on donor egg treatment for infertility. Donor egg IVF therapy is actually the most successful medical treatment for many couples who are trying to have a baby. It has been used successfully in this country for more than 20 years. Yet, SB 1306 / HB 2651 would pull the rug out from under this medical treatment and take away the last remaining hope for many couples in Arizona.

SB 1306/HB 2651 discourages egg donor therapy by outlawing the compensation traditionally provided to those who donate eggs for infertile couples. All this does is under-compensate valuable medical donors and discourage them from helping people who want to have a baby. Arizona would be the first state in the U.S., to RESOLVE’s knowledge, to deny egg donors appropriate compensation.
