2026-07-23: Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committees on Veterans' Affairs, Armed Services, Education and Workforce, Ways and Means, and Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates federal statutory rights to receive/provide IVF and assisted reproductive technology, preempts conflicting state restrictions on embryo disposition/storage/transfer, mandates insurance/Medicaid/Medicare/VA/DoD coverage, and protects against state laws limiting efficacy or access, all of which expand legal access to and recognition of IVF against potential personhood-based restrictions.
