Current law requires a gamete agency, gamete bank, or fertility
clinic (clinic) to obtain a license from the department of public health and environment (department) on or after January 1, 2025, before the clinic may match or provide gametes or embryos to recipients in Colorado. The bill extends this deadline to July 1, 2025.
The bill adds a requirement that applicants for an original and renewal license must submit documentation to demonstrate compliance with licensing requirements.
Subject to available appropriations, the department may, as it
deems necessary, perform on-site inspections or complaint investigations of clinics located outside of Colorado.
Beginning in fiscal year 2025-26, the bill requires the general
assembly to annually appropriate $229,335 to the gamete agency, gamete bank, or fertility clinic fund.
