flag Michigan lawmakers advance bills to make fertility fraud a felony with up to 15-year prison terms.

flag 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. flag The bills also criminalize non-consensual use of a doctor’s sperm, with penalties up to 15 years and $100,000. flag Supporters say Michigan lacks protections found in over a dozen states, while critics warn the bills are too broad and could unfairly burden physicians. flag Charges would require proof of intent to deceive. flag The bills, introduced for the third straight session, remain in committee, but a House vote is anticipated soon.
