This November the Fertility Care Industry is on the ballet! We’ve listed some of the legislation that will be impacted by your vote this November! Be sure to vote on November 4th but take a look at these mandates and laws that are at risk.

1. Insurance Coverage Mandates:
   • Many states have laws requiring private insurers to cover infertility treatments (e.g., IVF, IUI). A November 2025 vote in a state could expand, restrict, or repeal these mandates.
2. Legal Protections for Fertility Treatments:
   • Following the 2024 Alabama Supreme Court ruling (which temporarily halted IVF by defining embryos as “children”), multiple states have introduced or passed laws to protect fertility care access. A November 2025 vote could:
     • Enshrine or overturn such protections via ballot measures.
3. LGBTQ+ and Single-Parent Access:
   • Legislation ensuring fertility care access for same-sex couples and single individuals varies by state. A vote could:
     • Affirm or challenge non-discrimination laws in fertility clinics.
     • Affect state-level adoption of the Uniform Parentage Act (UPA), which simplifies family-building for LGBTQ+ families.
4. Embryo Research and Genetic Technologies:
   • Federal and state laws govern embryo research, genetic testing (e.g., PGT), and emerging tech like lab-grown gametes. A vote might:
     • Impact state-level bans or approvals for certain research.
     • Influence congressional funding or FDA regulations if the vote affects federal leadership (though November 2025 isn’t a federal election year).
5. Telehealth and Cross-State Care:
   • The pandemic accelerated telehealth for fertility consultations. State votes could affect:
     • Licensing laws allowing out-of-state providers to offer care.
     • Reimbursement policies for telehealth fertility services.
