This bill amends R.S. 14:101.2(D) concerning the unauthorized use of sperm, ovum, or embryo in Louisiana. The revised language specifies that the section does not apply to certain situations, including the use of human ova or sperm by a surviving spouse to conceive a child, provided that the deceased spouse had signed a consent form prior to their death. Additionally, it allows for the use of a spouse's human ova or sperm by the other spouse for conception without the need for prior consent documentation.

The bill aims to clarify and expand the exceptions to the unauthorized use of reproductive materials, ensuring that surviving spouses and spouses can utilize these materials for conception under specified circumstances. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated time frame for bills to become law without a signature, as outlined in the Louisiana Constitution.
