The proposed bill mandates the establishment of a data collection system by the Department of Health in South Dakota, specifically focused on assisted reproductive technology (ART). This system will gather annual data on various aspects of ART, including the number of embryos created and implanted, methods of disposition for non-implanted embryos, and the number of embryos transferred out of state for purposes such as cryopreservation or medical research. Additionally, the bill requires tracking the number of pregnancies and live births resulting from assisted reproduction, as well as the circumstances surrounding the disposal of embryos.

Entities involved in assisted reproductive technology are required to submit the necessary data to the Department of Health as requested. The department is tasked with compiling this information and making it publicly accessible on its website by July 1st of each year. This initiative aims to enhance transparency and understanding of assisted reproductive technology practices within the state.
