This bill mandates that health care providers obtain informed consent from patients before administering any medical treatments that may potentially harm fertility. It introduces a new section in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 144, specifically designated as [144.6583]. The bill defines key terms such as "family building," "fertility," "fertility specialist," and "medical treatment," and outlines the requirements for informed consent. Providers must discuss the potential risks to fertility with patients, offer consultations with fertility specialists, and secure written consent from patients acknowledging their understanding of these risks.

Additionally, the bill prohibits health care providers from discouraging patients from seeking advice from fertility specialists regarding preservation services or family building options. Violations of this section can lead to disciplinary actions by the relevant health-related licensing board, and patients harmed by such violations are empowered to file complaints. The commissioner of health is tasked with establishing procedures to monitor compliance with these new requirements.
