OH HB486

Creates the crime of "fraudulent assisted reproduction" as a felony of the third degree when a health care professional uses human reproductive material from a donor without express consent of the person receiving the procedure.

Establishes a 10-year statute of limitations for prosecution, extendable by 5 years from discovery of DNA evidence, recordings, or confession by the health care professional.

Permits civil actions by the woman undergoing the procedure, her spouse, children born from it, and donors whose material was used without consent, with recoverable damages including reasonable attorney's fees and either $10,000 in liquidated damages or compensatory/punitive damages.

Allows women to recover reimbursement for assisted reproduction procedure costs in civil actions and permits separate lawsuits for each child born or individual who received reproductive material without consent.

Defines "assisted reproduction" to include intrauterine insemination, egg/sperm donation, in vitro fertilization, and intracytoplasmic sperm injection, and exempts spouses and unmarried persons intending parenthood from the "donor" definition.
