The proposed bill establishes the Embryo Safety and Storage Act of 2025, which mandates the Rhode Island Department of Health to regulate and license embryo storage facilities. The act aims to ensure the safe storage of human eggs, pre-embryos, and embryos. It includes definitions of key terms such as "embryo storage facility" and outlines the requirements for obtaining and maintaining a license to operate such facilities.

Under the new regulations, no person may conduct, maintain, or operate an embryo storage facility without a license from the Department of Health, which must be renewed annually. The department is responsible for promulgating rules and regulations that adhere to established safety standards, including those set by the International Organization for Standardization and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The department will also conduct inspections to ensure compliance with these regulations.

The act includes provisions for the revocation of licenses for good cause, such as failure to comply with the chapter's provisions or use of fraud in obtaining a license. Additionally, it establishes penalties for operating without a license, which may include fines and imprisonment. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
