The proposed bill establishes a new data collection system within the South Dakota Department of Health specifically focused on assisted reproductive technology (ART). This system aims to gather annual data on various aspects of ART, including the number of embryos created, those subjected to genetic testing, the methods of embryo disposition, and the outcomes of pregnancies and live births resulting from ART. Entities involved in ART are required to submit this data to the Department of Health as requested.

To ensure compliance, the bill grants the secretary of the Department of Health the authority to impose civil penalties of up to one thousand dollars on entities that fail to provide the required data. Collected penalties will be directed to the state treasurer for deposit in the general fund. Additionally, the Department of Health is mandated to compile and publicly share this information on its website by July 1st of each year, promoting transparency and accountability in the field of assisted reproductive technology.
