HB 400
AN ACT relating to fertility treatment.
In Plain Language
This bill creates a legal right to fertility treatment in Kentucky and prevents the state and local governments from restricting it unless they have a very strong reason that requires the least restrictive approach. It also prohibits the government from discriminating in how it protects these rights, and allows people to sue state or local officials who violate them.
Official summary
Create a new section of KRS Chapter 216 to define terms; establish fundamental rights relating to fertility treatment; prohibit the Commonwealth and its political subdivisions from denying, burdening, or infringing on those rights unless justified by a compelling state interest achieved by the least restrictive means; prohibit the Commonwealth and its political subdivisions from discriminating in the protection or enforcement of those rights; create a civil cause of action against a state or local official who violates those rights.
