South Dakota will require fertility clinics and other providers of assisted reproductive technology to report detailed data annually to the Department of Health, including information about embryos created, tested, implanted, and disposed of, as well as pregnancy and birth outcomes. This is a new requirement with no existing state law on the topic, meaning fertility providers must now track and submit this information to help the state monitor assisted reproductive technology practices.
The amendment adds a penalty provision allowing the Department of Health to impose civil penalties up to one thousand dollars on entities that fail to provide required data, and expands the data collection to separately track embryos undergoing preimplantation genetic testing and removes the term "compassionate" from one disposition method—STRENGTHENING the bill by making it enforceable and more detailed in its tracking requirements.
