GA HB428

Establishes that no Georgia law prohibits or prevents an individual from obtaining in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the state

Defines IVF as a fertility treatment where oocytes are removed from a female's ovary, fertilized with sperm in an embryology laboratory to form embryos, then transferred to a uterus or preserved for future use

Adds new Code section 31-1-26 to Chapter 1 of Title 31 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (general health provisions)

Legislative findings recognize that millions of Americans and Georgians struggle to have children, and that IVF is a safe, effective, and legal fertility option

Responds to public uncertainty about the legal status of IVF in Georgia following inquiries to legislators
