Michigan lawmakers advance bills to make fertility fraud a felony with up to 15-year prison terms.
Michigan lawmakers are revisiting legislation to combat fertility fraud, with a House committee hearing on bills that would make falsifying donor information a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a $50,000 fine.
The bills also criminalize non-consensual use of a doctor’s sperm, with penalties up to 15 years and $100,000.
Supporters say Michigan lacks protections found in over a dozen states, while critics warn the bills are too broad and could unfairly burden physicians.
Charges would require proof of intent to deceive.
The bills, introduced for the third straight session, remain in committee, but a House vote is anticipated soon.
