The "Reproductive Empowerment and Support Through Optimal Restoration (RESTORE) Act" is designed to improve research and data collection on reproductive health conditions that lead to infertility, while also providing necessary training for healthcare professionals in diagnosing and treating these issues. The bill introduces a new Chapter 141 in Title 44 of the South Carolina Code, defining various reproductive health conditions such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, and infertility. It emphasizes restorative reproductive medicine and mandates comprehensive data collection on the standard of care for individuals facing these challenges. Furthermore, Title X-funded facilities are required to incorporate fertility awareness-based methods into their services, and healthcare providers are protected from penalties for opting out of assisted reproductive technology based on moral or religious beliefs.

The bill also tasks the Director of the Department of Public Health with expanding research programs focused on reproductive health, including infertility and maternal health, and requires public reporting of research findings within twenty-four months of enactment, with annual updates. It highlights the need for educational programs addressing male factor infertility and calls for collaboration with policymakers to update diagnostic and procedural codes related to infertility treatments. The General Assembly is instructed to recommend a federal review of coding systems to enhance classification and reimbursement for reproductive health procedures. The act will take effect upon the Governor's approval.
