California Legislator to Introduce Bill to Establish Stricter Standards on Fertility Clinics
State Senator Gloria Negrete McLeod (D-Chino) intends to introduce a measure that will establish accredidation standards and guidelines for the operation of fertility clinics. The intent is to better protect the public because of the increasing number of surgical procedures being performed outside of the walls of a hospital. The measure would essentially bring fertility clinics under the jurisdiction of the Medical Board of California requiring the establishment of standardized procedures and protocols to be followed in the event of complications and to govern emergency and urgent care situations.
This bill will also affect other clinics, such as plastic surgery centers. This bill also recommends some additional requirements including disclosure; however, this just appears to be the first of many regulations to come after the wake of the octuplets.
