Requires physicians and health care providers to give patients seeking in vitro fertilization therapy timely, relevant, and appropriate information to make informed choices about disposition of remaining embryos or gametes.

Mandates presentation of four disposition options: storing, donating to another person, donating for research purposes, or disposing/destroying unused preimplantation embryos.

Requires the Commissioner of Health to prescribe an informational pamphlet in multiple languages describing egg extraction procedures, including short and long-term health impacts, drugs/devices used, risks, side effects, alternatives, and potential unforeseeable risks.

Requires a signed informed consent form documenting patient understanding of the pamphlet and procedure, with a physician-completed "Notes" section containing patient-specific medical information, alternative procedures, medicines, devices, and relevant risks.

Prohibits treatment from proceeding without providing both the informational pamphlet and informed consent form and receiving a fully executed informed consent form from the patient.
