The bill aims to provide civil and criminal immunity for any death or damage to an embryo during in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures. It stipulates that no legal action, suit, or criminal prosecution can be initiated against individuals or entities involved in providing or receiving IVF services for any harm to an embryo. This immunity is intended to apply retroactively to any relevant actions or omissions that are not currently under litigation.

Additionally, the bill limits damages against manufacturers of goods used in the IVF process to compensatory damages equivalent to the price paid for the affected IVF cycle, and it prohibits criminal prosecution for embryo damage or death against these manufacturers. The legal language that is inserted includes provisions for retroactive application of these immunities and damage limitations, while the bill deletes any conflicting causes of action from Chapter 5 of Title 6 of the Code of Alabama 1975. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
