 AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to requiring the

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 1 Section 1. Section 4365 of the public health law is amended by adding
 2 a new subdivision 10 to read as follows:

 4 shall promulgate regulations on the commercial trade of human reproduc-
 5 tive processes involving semen donation. Such regulations shall include,
 6 but shall not be limited to:
 7 (a) governing limits on the number of live births conceived by a
 8 single donor, which shall not exceed ten live births; and
 9 (b) the establishment of a central tracking registry of semen donor
 10 information, as reported by reproductive tissue banks,
 11 insemination/implantation sites and semen processing facilities in the
 12 state. Such registry shall provide a means for gathering and maintain-
 13 ing accurate information on the:
 14 (i) number of live births conceived from a single donor;
 15 (ii) health information of the donor at the time of the donation; and
 16 (iii) other information deemed appropriate by the commissioner.
 17 In addition, regulations shall maintain the anonymity of the donor and
 18 the offspring and govern access to information maintained by the regis-
 19 try.
 20 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
