Permit patients to seek and receive fertility treatment, including assisted reproductive technology services, and permit health care providers who choose to provide fertility treatment to provide such services without States enacting harmful or unwarranted limitations or requirements that single out assisted reproductive services for restrictions not consistent with widely accepted and evidence-based medical standards of care, or that do not significantly advance reproductive health or the efficacy and safety of fertility treatment, or that make fertility treatment more difficult to access.

Promote the right and ability of a patient residing in any State to choose to receive fertility treatment provided in accordance with widely accepted and evidence-based medical standards of care by a health care provider who chooses to provide such services.
